Sheep have right of way. 🐑 Don’t mess with them.
🏃♀️ THE RUN 🏃♂️
This is a short scenic route. It kicks off with across fields and uneven ground. A few gentle rolling hills🌿 and then it flattens out around the lake. Take it easy through the woods 🌳and loop back to the start.

The grand centrepiece of this loop - Felbrigg Hall is a large country house that’s watched over this landscape since the 17th-century. A little piece of Norfolk history cared for by the National Trust.
There’s a cafe serving cakes🍰, scones and pasties with inside and outside seating. You can also check out the second hand book shop 📕next to the cafe.
