Be aware, during the summer this route can become very overgrown! Shoulder height nettles and brambles taking over the path mean it's very slow going in places and faster if you bring secateurs. Usually this is a very easy stroll, but wear trousers rather than shorts if visiting at peak plant growth time

Bench here is a good out of the way spot to stop and snack along the journey - sits between single file path section, and "no picnics allowed" private land with permissive path section

Really nice and easy path that follows the entire Bure Valley Railway line between Aylsham and Wroxham. You can take the train one way and walk the other and there are some great points to turn off and explore especially around the Oxnead area where you can follow the river and rejoin the path later on.

A main Norfolk River with footpaths along much of it meaning great opportunity for walks by the water that are nivable most of the year. This particular section in Coltishall has two pubs and a large grass area for relaxing in the warmer months.
