Walk Description:

The main buildings of the Gressenhall workhouse were built in 1777 when it was a house of industry. Here paupers would work under quite a strict regime in return for accommodation. 

NOWADAYS - it is a fabulous museum AND also a brilliant location for amazing circular walks.  Join Becky who will show you wildflower meadows, hidden lokes, fieldside trails and a Wensum meander.  Plus of course coffee afterwards in the cafe....
