This is a figure of eight walk first looping around Blickling and then around Aylsham. There is an easy option to reduce the walk down to approx. 12 miles if required.
From the carpark we head out of Aylsham soon picking up Marriotts Way, following it for a couple of km before turning off to go through the tiny village of Silvergate and towards the Blickling estate. We can make use of toilets at Blickling before heading through the park and on towards Itteringham.
We then head east and south to arrive back at the Blicking estate to walk past the lake and house. This is the suggested lunch stop. Café, toilets, shop are available at Blickling.
We then briefly retrace our steps to Silvergate to then head east to pick up Weavers Way. A green lane then takes us south and onto the Bure Valley railway path, and back into Aylsham.

Paths along the route are varied but mainly good, landscape is varied. Please bring enough food and drink to last the entirety of the walk; there is however an opportunity to restock at Blicking, albeit at National Trust prices! The group can however stretch to an ice cream! Dogs welcome; there are some sections of the walk where dogs must be on a lead
