Bure Valley Path: Wroxham to Coltishall

Four and a half miles there and back, a flat and undemanding two and a quarter hours on the compacted trackbed that runs beside the fifteen-inch Bure Valley Railway for its nine miles between Wroxham and Aylsham. Start at the railway station car park at Hoveton and Wroxham beside the bridge, which is the trail head and has the largest parking in the village; the whole path can be walked one way with a train back if you time it with the timetable. It is traffic-free the entire distance with no stiles and good width for a nervous dog, the Bure is reachable at Belaugh and Coltishall for a drink, and steam trains pass close enough that a noise-shy dog wants a lead.
