グレートマッシンガムのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A nice section of the Peddars Way which has a good surface and is relatively covered from the elements, it's got some nice views and there are bronze age barrows nearby, again gravel, mountain and tour bikes should be fine on this surface.

Beautiful examples of Barrow's that have survived quite well mainly due to how flat the landscape is here. They stand proud of the landscape and are particularaly atmospheric at dusk.

Sitting near the route of the old Peddars Way trackway. Amazing to think that these barrows have seen the Romans, Angles, Vikings and Normans all go by, standing inviolable and immutable.

Great location, overlooking the green and the large village pond.

Tucked away down a little lane by the side of the church, but worth finding.

Leave no trace

A cluster of Bronze age burial mounds / barrows on Harpley Common. Some are around 3m high. Pottery, bone and charcoal fragments were discovered when Bell Barrow was excavated. Local tradition has it that treasure is buried here and it is said that rabbits will not burrow in it, or if they do they soon come out! Strangely enough there are very few rabbit burrows. Please don't dig for treasure here, as it's protected as a national monument.

The Peddars Way follows the route of the old Roman road starting in Knettishall Hall in Suffolk. The Peddars Way is 73 kilometres long and ends at the Norfolk coast at Hunstanton. The route takes it name from the Latin "Pedester", which means on foot.
