Description
A low-lying landscape with great variety.
Norfolk is known for its open landscape, but it has more varied terrain than the contour lines alone suggest. The book takes you to the waterways of the Broads, the sandy areas of the Brecks, the Fens, and the coast’s salt marshes and inlets. This provides a broad starting point for exploring the county on foot, whether on a single holiday or through several shorter visits.
Forty circular walks across easy to moderate terrain.
The walks vary in length and pass through both rural and more coastal areas. Some follow sections of well-known long-distance trails, while others seek out quieter routes through the landscape. The circular format makes it easy to use one place as a base and choose different outings without having to arrange transport between a new start and end point each day.
Maps and background on what you will see along the way.
The route descriptions are supported by Ordnance Survey maps and practical information that make it easier to choose a suitable walk. The book also covers history, plants, and wildlife, giving reason to spend time by the water, in the villages, and along the coast, rather than simply following the route as a distance between two points.
For relaxed days of walking with an eye for nature.
Many routes have only small changes in elevation, but terrain and distance can still make a walk more demanding than expected. The coast and wetland areas also call for care regarding local conditions and access rules. The guide suits regular walkers who want a varied collection of day walks and appreciate birdlife, traces of history, and a more open English landscape.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
