'The Brecks has a rich diversity of natural and man-made landscape heritage just waiting to be explored. Public access to it, however, remains under-developed and unstructured. The Breckland Society aims to address this by creating a series of 10 heritage trails across the Norfolk and Suffolk Brecks. These trails will be designed for walkers, cyclists and horse riders, utilising existing rights of way, including bridleways and cycle paths. The trails will be based upon circular routes of differing lengths, with each one focused on a specific heritage theme ...'
'Dereham is a market town at the heart of Norfolk which flourished in the 7th century. It is thought that St Withburga, youngest daughter of Anna, King of the East Angles, built a nunnery and church. The town is also historically linked to agriculture being located in the middle of one of Britain’s most important farming regions. This is highlighted on many of the walks which take you across some of Norfolk’s beautiful farming landscapes.'
'Starts in Suffolk at Knettishall Heath Country Park and follows the route of a Roman road to Holme-next-the-Sea on the north Norfolk coast. At Holme the Peddars Way meets the Norfolk Coast Path as it runs from Hunstanton to Cromer.'
Fourteen walks around and about Swaffham.
'Walking in the Brecks is an instant holiday. There’s always something different to see, whatever the season. Take a local route or follow an ancient trackway such as the Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path National Trail ... Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the pine forests, the lonely beauty of the Heaths or visit our bustling market towns.'
'Thetford lies within the Brecks, an area of over 370 sq miles spanning the border of Norfolk and Suffolk. The Brecks is a beautiful and distinctive area of East Anglia with twisted pines and several habitats and species that depend on the open conditions, sandy soils and historic land use ...'
'Swaffham is the perfect gateway for walkers to explore the diverse landscapes of the Fenland to the west, with old drove roads giving unique access to quiet countryside, and the Brecks to the south and west, with gentle slopes and dry heathland. To the north there are some hidden gems of archaeological interest with a variety of abandoned medieval villages, churches and castles to discover. '
'Links the Nar Valley Way at Gressenhall with the Marriott’s Way at Lenwade, passing through rural landscape between Gressenhall and Swanton Morley, then following the river valley, abundant with wildlife, through to Lenwade. Along the way, take in outstanding views, picturesque villages and historic sites.'
