Upton Dyke is set amid marshes which have been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, due to the rare wildlife here. The area is in the care of Norfolk Wildlife Trust. As you follow the dyke, you can admire the moored boats and keep a look out for rare birds and insects.

Hiking

When we passed through in early spring, we were amazed at the amount of Mute Swans on the surrounding farmland. On several occasions, groups of swans flew over to land in Upton Dyke and the River Bure. There is a small car park that is free to use.
