With its big skies, wildlife-rich Broads, stunning coastline and sandy heaths, Norfolk is an ideal place to walk. This book, with its 20 circular walks ranging in length from 2 to 7 miles, takes you along the coast and through forests, fens and farmland to the area's finest spots. The book is split into seasons, with recommendations for the best walks for specific times of year.

Autumn: spot seals just off Horsey's coastal dunes or admire the sea view from the cliffs between Overstrand and Cromer;
Winter: take a brisk winter wander on the Sandringham Estate or enjoy the wildness of The Wash estuary at Snettisham
All walks include: Directions to the start; Parking info; Numbered route map and directions; Distance and terrain;
