マーハムでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Best jump of the line

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.

Before the forest you see today, Shouldham Warren was farmed as a rabbit warren, dating from at least the 17th century. The rabbits were bred for both their meat and fur. The landscape here makes for an interesting hike as it's where the fens and the brecks meet. Enjoy expansive views over the Nar Valley and the shade of the pine forests. Colours here are particularly good in the autumn.

Very cute little path between the two pastures

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!
