This guidebook describes 40 circular walks in Norfolk, including walks along the coast and walks exploring the Fens and the Broads. From 4 to 12 miles, these mostly flat walks use footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes, and some involve parts of long-distance paths, including the Peddars Way, Norfolk Coast Path, Boudica's Way and Weavers Way.
The walks are divided into five sections: walks on the northeast coast and the Broads; walks in south Norfolk, the Yare and Waveney; walks in North Norfolk and the Coast; walks in Central Norfolk and Breckland; and walks in West Norfolk and the Fens. All routes are easy to moderate and can be done by anyone of reasonable fitness and enjoyed all year round. Each route is described step-by-step, illustrated with 1:40K OS map extracts and packed with historical, geological and other information about the landscape the route passes through.
The Fenland region of Norfolk's far west is flat and low-lying, as are the marshes and waterways of the Broads in the east, but between these two extremes there is a great deal of topography going on. The county is far more varied than most outsiders imagine, with several distinct and unique landscapes. As well as Broads and the Fens, it has the sandy Brecks, rolling farmland, ancient woodland, meandering rivers and the gorgeous North Norfolk coast with its beaches, shingle banks, salt marshes and tidal mud flats.
Originally from the West Midlands, Laurence Mitchell has been based in East Anglia for longer than he cares to remember. He worked as a geography teacher for many years before finally reinventing himself as a freelance travel writer and photographer. Laurence is especially interested in off-the-beaten-track destinations like the Balkans, Central Asia and the Caucasus region and has written guidebooks to Serbia, Belgrade and Kyrgyzstan as well as his own backyard of Norfolk and Suffolk, which he enjoys just as much as anywhere else. He is a member of the British Guild of Travel Writers and the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild.
