DERSINGHAM WALKING GROUP

LOCAL WALKING GROUP WEBSITE


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 Next Walks...

Please note that wherever possible the start point addresses will include what3words in addition to the National Grid References. Many of our walks commence in rural areas for which what3words provide the most accurate reference points.

Note that until the clocks go on in March walks will start at 1.30pm

 

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.

Country walking is a real joy, and it's good for you ...

There's nothing like a good country walk to both relax and energise you at the same time. It's a real pleasure to just be out in the fresh air, and the health benefits are well known. Fortunately in Dersingham we have nearby access to some of the best country and coast walking in East Anglia, with many excellent routes starting right in the village.

The Dersingham Walking Group has a team of experienced leaders one of whom guides each of our walks. We are always looking to expand the number of leaders, so if you would like to join us please get in touch. Training is provided and we can also suggest suitable walks if necessary.

Speaking of walking routes, there is an excellent website called Whiffler's Walks which catalogues a large number of local walks. You can find a link below. Look forward to seeing you with your boots on!
