ナーボロウでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Great place ro stop for refreshments

The Buttercross is in the middle of Swaffham. It is the centre of a weekly market. When the farmer sold their butter, they opened their stands in the shade of the Buttercross so it wouldn't melt away.

A chalk stream, the River Nar flows for just 15 miles from Mileham in Norfolk to meet the Ouse at Kings Lynn. Here the river passes by Nar Valley Fisheries, coarse fishing lakes.

The 14th century gatehouse is almost all that remains of Pentney Abbey. It is now a unique wedding venue. Many of the houses in Pentney, as well as Abbey Farm were built using stone from the main priory which was built in the early 12th century.

Very cute little path between the two pastures

To cross the Nar.

The small mill is used for other nature projects. Birdhouses, nesting boxes and flower meadows are laid out.

The Nar, once bustling with barge loads of bones drawn by heavy horse from King's Lynn to the Mill, is now a protected SSSI, home to swans, coots, trout and even otters (although you'll be fortunate to spot the latter). Hunched upon the northern bank of the River Nar, the now rusted waterwheel, canalised banks and stone grinding wheels of Narborough's Bone Mill serve as a picturesque reminder that Norfolk's past is more industrial than the pretty burbling river might otherwise suggest. Situated equidistant between the villages of Marham and Narborough, this section of the Nar Valley Way makes for a pleasant out and back stroll that can be tackled from either village. In the winter months, the bench facing the old waterwheel is a well-sheltered spot for a hot drink from a thermos, while in the summer months, it's a perfect table for two where the evening sunshine might be enjoyed with a little bit of cheese and a glass of wine. If your adventures take you this way in the autumn months, be sure to bring a bag with you as the bramble bushes lining the route will be positively collapsing under the weight of those tasty berries!
