The Norfolk Trails
Barked by Cocoa - Foreign Correspondent
Norfolk is a doggy walking
paradise: discover over
1,200 miles of shoreline and
countryside trails.
Originally when my pawrents
sat me down and explained
that we were moving from
Spain to Norfolk I was very
worried. My Spanish friends
didn't
help,
gleefully
informing me of the reported
lack of space and green areas
for walking. But oh, how
wrong they were! Norfolk still
remains a very countrified
area with plenty of different
walks through heathland,
woods and along the
coastline.
I was very excited to hear that
the coast wouldn't be very far
from where we were going to
live. I think there is nothing
better than splashing about
and having fun in the water,
don’t you?
Mum also told me about the
Norfolk Trails and after
hearing her talk about all of
those wonderful walks, a lot
of them taking in the coast
and sea, I couldn't wait to get
there and start exploring.
Since then I haven't looked
back as there are so many
different walks to do. It's hard
to tell you what my favourite
one is, so I think it would be
best if I just bark about them
all! So here goes...
The trails are a network of
hikes which brings over 1,200
miles of walks, cycle and
bridle routes together. These
trails all go by various names,
normally followed by a 'Way'
after them. You have the
Angles Way, Boudicca Way,
Marriott’s Way, Nar Valley
Way, Paston Way, Peddars
Way, the Weavers’ Way,
Wensum Way, Wherryman’s
Way, Bure Valley Path and
finally the Coast Path. Wow!
Try saying all of that after you
have had a glass of Pawsecco
or three!
Angles Way
Distance: 93 miles
This is one of the main longdistance paths in Norfolk,
which starts in the seaside
resort of Great Yarmouth and
ends in Thetford. At 93 miles
it would take me several
weeks to walk, so it’s a good
thing that it’s very easy to
