Our Walks in East Anglia

Ideal pushchair country - it's flat!! From the Fens to Cambridge and Ely, you won't have steep gradients to tax you. Beautiful coastal stretches, but you'd better visit before sea-level rises!!

FREE WALK SUGGESTIONS!

Here are some more ideas of where you can take your pushchair in East Anglia. These are lovely places to go, but not worth a route description.

Hoveton Riverside Park - Picnic spots, boats, ducks and a short riverside walk.

 

The sea bank, Wells-next-the-Sea – Footpath along the sea bank to the beach. Great views over the marshes and harbour.

 

County School Railway Station, North Elmham – restored 1940's railway station, orchard, meadow and footpath along disused railway line.

 

Ranworth Broad – boardwalk trail through woodland and reed bed to floating visitor centre (closed in winter).

 

Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve – board walks and hides, a great diversity of wildlife to spot.

 

EASY ACCESS TRAILS

Easy access trails are starting to appear across Britain, so here is a selection in East Anglia. These are official trails and have not necessarily been tried and tested but should be suitable for wheels.

 

Thetford Forest Park near Brandon has a mile and a half wheelchair trail from a picnic site.

 

The Ely Nature Trail is wheel friendly in dry weather and follows a green lane to the river Great Ouse.
