Walking provides health and economic benefits and there are many places to walk in Dereham, some are public streets, some are parks and open spaces. Dereham has 41 public rights of way - paths and tracks which everyone can use by right. We have published fourteen walk-guides which cover most of the countryside paths.

News:

Join us for a leisurely short walk of no more than 4 miles. There’s no need to book, just turn up.

If coming by car, please park on Greenfields Road (avoiding the limited Windmill car park).

See a report from our April and June short walks.

For more details see our Current Events page.

Join us on the second Tuesday of the month for a walk no more than two miles and on good and even surfaces: we will make it clear in the email if this is not the case. The pace will be steady with regular pauses to catch our breath.

Afterwards there will be an opportunity to have some refreshments at a nearby hotel/cafe (bring your purse).

For more details see our Current Events page.

In a welcome break from recent weather, a fine day saw a party of 15 meet up at Dereham Railway Station. A 20 minute train ride took us to Thuxton, where we commenced the 7 mile walk back to Dereham via Garvestone, Whinburgh and Toftwood.

An optional coffee and cake awaited at the station cafe on our return.

See the full report.

Starting from the bottom of Cherry Tree car park a 6 miles walk going east from the town and returning through Northall Green, Quebec Wood and the path above Rushmeadow.
