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!

Church Lane is off the B1145. Drive down Church Lane until you see farm buildings and stables. On your right is a green 'Welcome' sign and a lane leading to the church where there is a grass car park.

Wednesday November 11th 1.30pm Knots Landing
Start point: Bottom of Station Road, Dersingham TF680308 w3w: stove.collides.vine
Autumn is a good time to see the birds intending to winter in the Wash: red knots, dunlin, oystercatchers, geese (both Pinkfoot and Brent). Always interesting to contrast the silence of the agricultural section of the walk with the cacophony in the Wash.
