Walks in Norfolk
Immerse yourself in nature
Dogs are always welcome at Dunston Hall, and we’ve taken some of the stress out of planning activities with a furry friend in tow. Here’s a few Norfolk walks you can go on, by yourself or with man’s best friend…
Skelding Hill
55 minute drive
Amble along the coast.
Take a relaxing walk along the beach and allow the sounds of the sea to wash away all your stress. This Norfolk walk is very popular with birdwatchers so keep an eye out, you might see some rare birds.
Dogs are welcome but must be kept on leads in some areas.
Time: 1 hour
The Mystical Woods
25 minute drive
Reconnect with nature.
Enjoy this circular stroll through the woods. Particularly beautiful in springtime, this walk blooms with azaleas and rhododendrons along sections of the path. If you’re lucky, you might see some horses, either in fields or being ridden along the path.
Dogs are welcome but are recommended to be kept on leads.
Time: 45 minutes
Coltishall and Belaugh
25 minute drive
Embrace the countryside.
Parts of this route parallel the miniature Bure Valley Railway, so if you time it right, you might see a steam engine go by on your travels. This trail is good for birdwatching, particularly by the river, where you might be lucky enough to spot a heron wading.
Dogs are welcome but must be kept on leads in some areas.
Time: 1.5 hours
Castle Acre Priory Loop
45 minute drive
View the ruins.
A slightly challenging walk, this trail takes you from Castle Acre, where you can see the castle ruins and the priory, down the River Nar and along some beautiful country roads. Keep an eye out for different wildlife and livestock along the way, and watch out for slippery sections of the trail if it’s been raining.
