トッティントンでののおすすめツーリングルート

Take time to go off the trail to the bird hides and vantage points around the water. The route is best in spring before the nettles take over the path in summer!

Great

Lovely!

Great addition to the trail and godd markers for a break along it

Starting from the forestry commision car park, hed over the bridge and turn right. This will give you several options for forestry trails and if you head towards Lynford you can then pop on to the road for a short trip to Browns cafe.

The inscription is a bit faded now, but reads: The footprint of our ancestors Familiar as our own faces Remote as fossils Written on clay And washed away Over & over Over and over For more info about the Songline see: https://www.luphen.org.uk/walks/peddars_way/norfolk_songline.htm

The Stanton Downham Bridge was built during the first world war as a rail bridge to transport timber and logging machines. It's been a road bridge since about 1922. The bridge crosses the Little Ouse River.

Just enjoy being out n about

Thompson Water and the common form an SSSI managed by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust. It's a particularly important area for dragonflies and damselflies.

The bridge makes an appearance in Dad’s Army series 5 “Brain Versus Brawn”.

Santon Downham bridge was built around the start of the First World War by the Canadian army, although a bridge has been on this site since at least the 17th Century. Originally it carried a 3ft gauge railway. The diamond pattern ironwork makes for an attractive crossing over the Little Ouse River. Plans were drawn up to replace it in the 1990's, but were opposed by locals, who liked it just the way it is.

The songline is a contemporary arts project that takes in influences from those that have used the trail over the ages such as the Saxons, Romans and medieval Pilgrims

Be mindful that there's an expanse of still water to one side of this site which means a plethora of midges at certain times of year

If you plan on having a dog with you, then double check where you can take it around Thompson Water. The main footpath that runs beside Thompson Water is Peddar's Way, so dogs are allowed there, but the rest of the reserve is owned by Norfolk Wildlife Trust and some areas are dog free zones at some points of the year.

Thompson Common is famous for its pingos, a series of around 400 post-glacial depressions. Here, you can see more than 400 different species of plants. It is also one of the most important sites in the county for dragonflies and damselflies; 19 species have been recorded as breeding here. There have been 25 species of butterfly and more than 600 species of beetle recorded here, too.

The faded inscription reads: "The piety of every man and every woman's whispered prayer Clasped in the grain of wood and stone & in the grace of ancient air."

The inscription is a little faded but reads "Surveyors have made their lines on the land Trapping Albion in a net of roads A taut web on the edge of empire"
