Ludham is a beautiful, peaceful village at the heart of the Norfolk Broads. A tea shop, small restaurant and pub provide a choice of refreshments. The pub, with beer-garden and children's outside play area, caters for families with young children. The walk takes you from the village centre, down a lane and past a small marina where day boats can be hired. Further down you enter Ludham Marshes Nature Reserve on the edge of the River Thurne. In the summer months the air is buzzing with insects and butterflies and many varieties of birds are to be seen all year round. Deer can also sometimes be spotted in the nearby wood, while on the river you will see sailing craft and water birds. The undergrowth can get quite high along the riverbank in the summer, so leg covering is recommended. Short enough for a gentle afternoon stroll, this walk offers something for everyone.

Walk reviewed and all ok. The section between waymarks 3 and 4 can be rather wet and slippery after rain. The path alongside the river seems to be well maintained, possibly by the Broads Authority and was not at all overgrown, but cut grass.
