Norfolk Year Round Walks Guidebook

Norfolk Year Round Walks Guidebook

by: James Lowen
These 20 circular walks, varying in length from 2 to 7 miles, take you along the coast and through forests, fens and farmland to some of Norfolk's finest spots. The guide has been divided into seasons with recommendations for the best walks for specific times of year. Highlights include:

Spring: ramble through the bluebell carpeted Foxley Wood or hunt for swallowtail butterflies at Wheatfen.
Summer: explore the sandy seaside of Holme Dunes or the unusual landscape and pingos at Thompson Common.
Autumn: spot seals just off Horsey's coastal dunes or admire the sea view from the cliffs between Overstrand and Cromer.
Winter: take a brisk winter wander on the Sandringham Estate or enjoy the wildness of The Wash estuary at Snettisham.

The book is produced in full colour with lots of photographs. Each walk entry begins with a description of the terrain, Ordnance Survey Explorer map sheet references, starting point with grid reference, how to get there and parking and refreshment options. The following route-finding instructions are laid out in precise numbered paragraphs and are supported by clear sketch maps showing the location of each paragraph number. For each walk an introductory description of its main features is included plus notes on what to look out for.
