Do Different in North Norfolk
Sunday 23 October
A walk in an area of history and mystery. We will enter Morston Church to hear about the Villagers’ claim to fame.
Walking on, we reach Stiffkey with a couple of tales to tell.
Moving onto the tiny hamlet of Cockthorpe with lunch (packed) in Cockthorpe Church, there we will hear about this hamlet’s connexion to not one, but three Admirals. You will hear something of their exploits, and possibly the odd Yo Ho Ho (could there be treasure?)…!
Finally, to a state of the art museum – Langham Dome, Norfolk’s ‘Tardis’ (larger on the inside than out) and its place in the Cold War.
This walk will take you via the Coast Path from Blakeney with wide views over the finest Marshes in Norfolk. The Marsh and Saltings abound in birdlife.
On the walk you may see deer, rabbit and hares. Look down you might spot the odd snake; or even a mole going from one Norfolk mountain to another.
There is something for all the family, a fantastic walk under huge skies and stories that will cheer or chill – but leave you wanting more of both. A Family walk to remember.
