It's a great trail, doable in 3 days馃憤but it's a bit of a slog馃槄

Really lovely trail. I completed it in 3 days with my 2 children (10 and 13). We did the trail in November and it was INCREDIBLY muddy, so definitely be prepared for slippery paths. 2 Great pubs along the way. We did some great geocaching along the way too. There are two or three parts along the way where the app and the marked path disagree, but it is easy to figure out.

Few too many horses and cows in the way! But lovely walk

We walked the 26miles from Norwich (by the Halfords roundabout) to Aylsham (ending in the Tesco carpark!). We began at 5am and after a longer, hours stop for a refuel and lovely lunch at The Crown pub in Reapham, finished the trail just shy of 6pm. The route itself is very easy to follow, generally flat and straight and we noticed this time around that much of it has recently been refurbished with new ramps and gravelled walk ways. We walked this with our two young and fit border collies, who loved every minute. It's a great one for dogs, though as you leave Reapham and head to Aylsham the route does become exposed overhead as you leave the shade of the tree lined walk and out to farm side paths bordered only by hedgerows. If you're walking your pup's in that direction on a hotter or humid day, definitely make sure to stock up with plenty of water before hand. Lots of lovely spots to stop for a drink, snack and a top up on route, with some cafes located in the old station buildings. Not sure I'd commit to the full 26miles again anytime soon, but pleased with the accomplishment! All in all a great walk and a nice trial run for beginners as there are plenty of places to 'tap out' when you feel ready and a connected bus route back to Norwich if needs be.
