Walking provides health and economic benefits and there are many places to walk in Dereham, some are public streets, some are parks and open spaces. Dereham has 41 public rights of way - paths and tracks which everyone can use by right. We have published fourteen walk-guides which cover most of the countryside paths.

Join us for a leisurely short walk of no more than 4 miles

Our regular First Friday walk has turned into a "Jubilee Thursday" walk for June. This will be a walk with a Jubilee theme, ending with light refreshments, so please let us know if you plan to come (or you might not get a bun!). We will be starting and ending at The Neatherd (by the play area): if coming by car, allow enough time to find an alternative parking place if there isn’t room in the ‘main’ car park.

(Unless the weather is very bad, the walk will always go ahead.)

See a report of our 1 April short walk.

While walking outside is not usually regarded as a high risk activity, we will follow Public Health England advice regarding public events and COVID-19.
