↔18.60 km ↗+55 m ↘-55 m ◔5h 30 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Norwich (Norfolk)

A walk along Norfolk's Tas Valley Way. Probably one of the least known long-distance paths in Norfolk, the Tas Valley Way links Norwich and Attleborough following the River Tas. This first section navigates through to Mulbarton, then onto Flordon before going off route to Tasburgh where there is a pub and public transport back to Norwich.

↔19.26 km ↗+102 m ↘-115 m ◔5h 50 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Norwich (Norfolk)

A walk roughly following Norfolk's Boudicca Way. This walk uses the Boudicca Way to navigate from Norwich to Shotesham, with an excursion away from the official route to the ruins of the Roman town Venta Icenorum. Shotesham forms the furthermost reaches of the Boudicca Way on this route, from where country lanes cuts across the country to the A140 where there is a frequent bus service back into Norwich.

Walker
Norwich to Wymondham - In Search of Kett's Oak
↔18.88 km ↗+74 m ↘-67 m ◔5h 35 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Norwich (Norfolk)

A walk linking Norwich and Wymondham. Kett's Oak is a tree that folklore states was the meeting place for what was to become Kett's Rebellion in the year of 1549. The ageing tree still stands forlorn by the roadside, passed by 1000's of motorists each day, no doubt most of whom are oblivious to this piece of roadside history. This walk seeks to pay homage to Robert Kett by returning to his tree, and researching into the whys and wherefores of the infamous rebellion which followed.

There is a lot of history to the bridges over the River Wensom and associated folklore which is detailed in the features to this walk.

A stroll along the southern side of the River Bure to the ancient hamlet of Heggatt.
This short walk takes one through country lanes and along old tracks and footpaths on the southern side of the River Bure. Highlights include the ruins of Horstead Mill and views across the valley to Coltishall and Belaugh. Plus a walk would not be complete without a little piece of folklore, and this one is all about a prophesy centered around a tree on Heggatt Common.

↔23.89 km ↗+44 m ↘-45 m ◔6h 55 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Coltishall (Norfolk)

An easy and captivating walk along Norfolks River Bure.
Not only does this walk provide some classic Norfolk scenery and historic features but it also traces the route said to be taken by the phantom carriage of Sir Thomas Boleyn in his annual act of penance for betraying his daughter Anne when she was sentenced to be executed. The walk is then made into a circular route by returning via the Bure Valley Path alongside the narrow gauge Bure Valley railway.

Walker
The Wherrymans Way - Rockland to Loddon
↔24.44 km ↗+21 m ↘-22 m ◔7h 05 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Thurton (Norfolk)

A walk along Norfolks Wherrymans Way. The only way one can see the sights of the River Yare is to either sail the river or walk the Wherrymans Way. Even in a boat, one cannot get as good a view as the path along the heightened defence banks. This is stereotypical Norfolk in all its glory and although it is a lengthy section of walking, it is well worth the effort.
