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 35 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.

The planned route includes Potter’s Fen and along the edge of Scarning Fen as we follow some quiet lanes and footpaths. Crossing the A47, we will make our way through Rush Meadow, finally returning to the start and drinks and cake at The George Hotel
