This is a very pleasant rural walk along tracks, field edges and quiet country lanes. In some of the fields hares, skylarks, pheasant, partridge and peewits can be seen and heard. There is an excellent pub in Barnham Broom; it is closed on Tuesdays for food. It is the largest of the villages you go through.

Having read the previous comment on this walk I was not certain it was one to take on, if only I had listened to my instincts. I parked by the Bell Pub (still in business) simply for ease so essentially starting the walk at WP8. I found the entrance to Fen Farm and followed the short track, the sign and gateway mentioned no longer exist but there is a sign indicating the land is private. I ignored that and proceeded to the foot of the hill in search of the path through the crops, sadly the path has been ploughed over so I made my way around the field edge to the stile. This was in place and it looked as though there was a footpath to follow. However after a few hundred metres the footpath is blocked with access through or around Coston Hall Dairy no longer possible mainly due to development. I backtracked to the stile but decided the option to follow roads was not appealing so I abandoned my days walking. I was a little frustrated but I guess after 40 years of walking the odd set back should be expected.

A gloriously sunny and warm October day so off out on a WW route today. We parked at the Church near WR10 and used the footpath through the churchyard to walk to WP1. The footpath from the NW corner of the churchyard has been cultivated so we walked around the generous field Boundry - this turned out to be the theme for this walk. Missing FP and PROW signs seem to be the norm with several of the fields planted with no signs of a FP being maintained. (We use a GPS to guide and record our walks so we can fully confirm the route). Particularly enjoyed the eastward leg between WP4 and 7, good views on a clear day like today. The leg from WP 8 to 9 was heavy going after leaving Rush Green, walking over the ploughed field in tractor tracks was hard work and the bit through Hall Farm was very mucky. Great views and the big blue Norfolk sky on a clear day and long stretches of paths made this a good walk today.
