Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Starts at
Whitlingham Country Park car park on Whitlingham Lane, near the Flint Barn Cafe NR14 8TR
Parking
Pay by the half hour and strictly enforced by a private contractor; a monthly permit is £10 and a year £65 online. Two linked car parks, both full on hot weekends by mid-morning
Directions to the start →

Two and a half miles on a level gravel and grass path all the way round the Great Broad, an hour at a steady pace and the easiest proper walk within sight of Norwich Cathedral. It starts at the country park car park on Whitlingham Lane, postcode NR14 8TR, which charges by the half hour and is enforced by an external contractor, so buy enough time; a yearly permit is £65 online. Dogs are welcome under effective control but must be on a lead in the Conservation Area, on Trowse Water Meadow, at the play area, around the Flint Barn Cafe patio and meadow, and in all the car parks, and the broad's banks shelve steeply into deep water.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs must be kept on a lead in the Conservation Area, on Trowse Water Meadow, in the children's play area, at the Flint Barn Cafe, patio and meadow, and in all car parks. Elsewhere they must be under effective control. Professional dog walkers need a licence.
