High Ash Farm

Reviewed By UK-Hiker49 - Norwich, United Kingdom

Always a good place for a walk at any time of the year, especially in the summer when the wildflower meadows are in full bloom. All credit to the landowner who has provided this to the public and keeps it looking good, with the paths regularly mowed. Park in the Caistor Roman Town car park just across the road and you can visit that free as well!

Wheatfen Nature Reserve Surlingham

Reviewed By SelwynG

Spent a couple of hours walking round the reserve, absolute bliss. A perfect escape from the crazy covid-19 world we are living in at the present. What is essential though are wellies, difficult without them at Wheatfen this time of year. Spent some time in the woods looking for fungi then walked around the rest of the reserve. If you love nature this is a place to visit.

This park is a wonderful place with a vast amount of activities from crazy golf (bring own club), to model boat water, train line, basketball court, athletics track. Kids will be occupied and intrigued, couples can take a stroll and enjoy the view of the different sports occurring. Will definitely be back very soon.

This is a great spot to wander around, its been left to nature with good paths, a river that is swimmable if you like cold water :) There were cows roaming around that seemed very relaxed with walkers being about. Very peaceful place. We need more places like this in the UK.
