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.

News:

The second town walk is on the morning of Saturday 20 August; at the time of writing, it is fully booked, but places may be available if anyone has to drop out, so do contact us if you’re interested - the theme is Dereham’s Industrial Heritage.

More details on our Events page.

Right at the end of August (Bank Holiday Monday 29 August) is a garden party walk, starting at 13:30 from the play area by The Neatherd. This will be a shortish walk of about 5 miles, concluding with tea and cakes!

More details on our Events page.

Join us for a leisurely short walk of no more than 4 miles. The walk is pot luck, with no advanced route published.

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