East Runton to Aldborough Circular Walk

Aldborough

A 17 mile circular walk through the countryside of North Norfolk linking East Runton and Aldborough

Aldborough is the quintessential English village with a pub facing the large village green where the sound of willow on leather can be heard from the afternoon games of cricket that are frequently staged during lazy summer afternoons. You cannot get a more stereotypically English village than Aldborough.

The Sandlings Walk - Dunwich to Southwold

Aldborough

A 15 mile circular walk along the Sandlings footpath between Dunwich and Southwold, with an option of returning either via the beach or the Suffolk Coast Path through Dingle Marshes

This is the final stage of the Sandlings Walk from Ipswich to Southwold. Starting at Dunwich, it takes the trails through Dunwich Forest and heads over Walberswick Heath to Southwold. The woods are full of mushrooms and nuts and berries this time of year... and hops! This is a lovely walk through the woods and well worth the effort. To make the route circular, the return is either via Dingle Marshes, or the Suffolk Coast Path or if the tide is out then its an easy walk along the beach.

The Essex Coast - Great Oakley to Walton-on-the-Naze

Aldborough

A 10 mile along the Essex Coast from Great Oakley to Walton-on-the-Naze

The walk follows the edge of the marshes in front of Skipper Island and Horsey Island and the Naze with little views of the open sea. The route is predominantly defence banks that border the creeks and springs that meander through the marshland. There is plenty to see from the wild life to the decaying hulls of wrecked boats that sit disregarded on the mud banks.
