Starting in the centre of Potter Heigham, by the historic bridge and boatyards, this walk takes you through quiet country lanes to Hickling Nature Reserve. Through a beautiful part of the reserve you are then taken back over a little bridge, through woods, down footpaths to a short length of the Weaver's Way that runs alongside the River Thurne. The walk then ends back in Potter Heigham again, where there are cafes, a fish and chip shop and plentiful parking.

This is mainly level, firm ground, although the short stretch of marshland terrain can be soft in spring and autumn. Walking shoes are recommended. Potter Heigham is accessible via bus or car.

Attempted this walk earlier today but had to abandon at WP9 as a large section of the Weaver's Way is closed until Spring 2025. There is no alternative to the Weavers Way stretch so it was back to the start for bacon rolls and tea.

Set out to review the walk today. The grassy pathway at WP 5 was somewhat overgrown, but the Oilseed Rape crop in the fields (first at least) was impenetrable and could not proceed. Obstruction reported on Norfolk Council footpaths website. Out of growing season, probably ok. Will check again later in Summer.

We intended to do this walk in late September 2011 and could not find the Tourist Information Centre at Potter Heigham where parking costs £8.50 a day. We tried to start halfway round but found many roads and footpaths temporarily closed because of flood defense works. It may pay to check before you set out.
