Dersingham Walking Group ...
The Dersingham Walking Group was founded in 2005 to provide people from the village with the opportunity to enjoy guided country walks in the area. There are normally two walks each month, usually on the second and fourth Wednesday, with full details given in Village Voice and on this website. Each walk has a leader and is typically between 4 and 5 easy miles taking a couple of hours or so. Why not get some fresh air, exercise and enjoy our wonderful countryside, you'll be in good company!
Our walks programme restarts
After our long standing walks coordinator Tony Bubb stood down it was difficult to find a willing volunteer to take on the role. However, we are pleased to say that one of our regular walkers, Ray Johnson, has stepped up so our walks will resume on Wednesday 24th September. See the details below and a big walking group thank you to Ray!
