Description
Short walks in a landscape of water.
The Norfolk Broads and coast offer tributaries, wetlands, wide beaches, and old fishing villages. Windmills and small waterways give the inland area a distinct character. This guide showcases the area’s variety through 15 short walks suitable for a holiday where you also want time for sightseeing, wildlife, and breaks.
15 routes with clear maps.
The walks are approximately four to ten kilometers long and designed to be completed in under three hours. Numbered descriptions are linked to easy-to-read OS maps. The terrain has few hills, making it possible to focus the experience on the landscape, birdlife, and cultural history rather than large elevation changes.
Coastal towns and practical planning.
Cromer, Sheringham, Wells-next-the-Sea, Blakeney, and Cley-next-the-Sea provide gateways to different parts of the coast. Other walks showcase the Broads landscape and historic urban environments at Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Information on parking, services, and refreshments helps in choosing the day’s route and planning stops that fit the rest of your stay.
Who is this book suitable for?
The guide is suitable for regular walkers who desire short walks in a relatively flat area. Some gates and stiles occur, and agricultural paths can be muddy or overgrown. The walks can be used throughout the year. Summer is busy, while winter often provides quieter coastal towns and different opportunities for nature and birdwatching.
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.
