Beautiful rural, circular walk taking in stunning views, across to Wales on a clear day, lovely clear air, out along the golf course through hobbit country. Terrain is partial Woods so slightly uneven ground,. Fairly flat walk Unfortunately no guaranteed loos - We used to be able to use Pipley Cafe but not always open now post pandemic so best to try go before you come or else it may be behind a bush!! Other than that it would be the Hare and Hounds where we go for coffee afterwards. walk so it may be bushes, though we stop for coffee afterwards at the Hare and Hounds for refreshment afterwards and of course an opportunity to use the facilities. Pacey Gear 1 and options for Gear 2 and 3 for those who wish to challenge themselves a bit more.Parking can be tricky, during COVID parking more restricted. If no parking available in the spot we normally use then just along on the main road there is parking but just a tiny bit more of a walk to meet point.

Walk Description:

We love it here! SO MANY CHOICES. SO MANY ROUTES TO EXPLORE.....

This walk truly is a FAB Thursday boost - approx an hour at moderate Gear 2 pace with Gear 3 options. Our walk will take us out FROM WAITROSE CAR PARK and EITHER exploring Keswick, Cringleford and Eaton or up into the UEA with plenty of choices right from the start. These walks differ each week; from saying hello to the donkeys above the Yare Valley Marshes and circumnavigating the Broad to following routes along the Yare and visiting the often-missed Earlham Hall.  There’s so much to see on wide grassy paths.  No wonder we LOVE it here.

Enjoy the views, fresh air and company of the group while also being active outdoors.  These walks alter each week but will be approx 3 miles.

On the FIRST THURSDAY OF THE MONTH - this walk will be 5-ish miles / 90 minutes - so we can really go "off piste" and discover more about this lovely area....
