Walk details

Whilst many come to explore the Norfolk Broads National Park on the water, there are some lovely walks to be done on foot – and this is one of them. It’s a short stroll along the southern edge of Barton Broad and into some secretive woodland.

The trail follows a boardwalk that is easily accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs.

We follow the trail through a swampy, wildlife-filled woodland before emerging out to glorious panoramic views out across the second largest of the Norfolk Broads, Barton Broad.

TOG VERDICT: The Norfolk Broads may be more famous for their waterways, but this short walk proves you can have just as much fun on dry land in this beautiful National Park.
