Walks and hikes around Weeting Heath National Nature Reserve offer a unique glimpse into the distinctive Breckland landscape. This protected area, nestled in the heart of East Anglia, is renowned for its rare and endangered species, particularly the stone curlew. The reserve's open grasslands and sandy soils create an environment that feels almost otherworldly, especially when compared to the lush greenery often associated with the English countryside.
