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....
