사우스 월샴 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Good place to stop for lunch during a long walk! Bench overlooking the wildflower meadow with apple trees, and a sundial to admire as well

A gorgeous reserve in the heart of the Broads, Upton Broad and Marshes hosts several distinctive habitats. Its mix of alder carr woodland, fen, reedbed and grazing marsh makes it a haven for some of the region's most coveted wildlife, including the swallowtail butterfly. You might also see water voles, otters and a huge range of dragonflies, with over 20 recorded species.

On this stretch of the River Bure you can see two examples of drainage mills, Upton Mill and Oby Drainage Mills. The mills pump water from the dikes out to tidal waterways to keep the land free of water. This is now done by electrical pumps but the windmills remain an iconic feature of the landscape.

The only monastery in England not officially shut down by King Henry VIII during the reformation, the Bishop of Norwich remains the Abbot of St Benet's Abbey to this day. The 14th century gatehouse and 18th century mill are easily identifiable from the ruins.

Fleet Dike links the River Bure with South Walsham Broad. There is a footpath along its eastern edge between the Boat Yard and the ruins of St Benet's Abbey.

The nice and quiet way.

Many many lovely wooded areas around here. Not far from the boards either

South Walsham Broad is a beautiful place to be. With the sounds of birdsong and gently lapping water blowing in the wind, it is a serene lake that is perfect to stop and take a moment at.
