Ingham is a beautiful village with a long history dating back many millennia. The start of the walk is by the church just off the main road through the village. The church was built onto the remains of the Trinitarian Priory, of which much of the ruins can still be seen above ground level. The ruins are well worth a ten-minute exploration, as much is well-preserved, including archways and spiral staircases.

The route then follows quiet country lanes and footpaths to arrive at the town of Stalham. This walk does not pass any shops but in passing the church in Stalham, the high street is just the other side of it and a footpath exists through the churchyard to the shops. There are also toilets just down the high street.

The return journey to Ingham is one with several characteristics. Firstly the route passes through a small housing estate to get to the footpaths that link the villages. Along the footpath back to Ingham there are some great views looking north. The famous red and white Happisburgh Lighthouse can be seen as well as the cathedral-like church. At any one time down the path, up to four churches can be seen in the surrounding villages.
