THE CHANCE OF having to give a random mountain biker a push π΄ββοΈ- as they battle the steep bits - 44%

Take loads of photos of the view πΈ. Then realise later that non of them did it justice.
πββοΈ THE RUN πββοΈ
This is a quiet off road route shared only with the occasional dog walker πβπ¦Ί or mountain bike enthusiasts π΄.
This ones not built for speed, its more of a scenic trundle - Some great hills for fitness and plenty of fresh air ! π
πΆββοΈ THE SLOWER OPTIONπΆββοΈ
Avg. Time to walk it Β· about 1 hr 40 mins
It starts at Beacon Hill (Roman Camp, if you're local) β The countyβs highest point at a whopping 103m above sea level. No chance of altitude sickness here in Norfolk π.
From here, the route dips into the woodland π³before climbing to Stone Hill for a memorable view of the heathland πΏ rolling towards Sheringham.
Next it's on to Incleborough Hill for another pause and look at the coast, before looping back through the woods to Beacon Hill.
The Squirrels look so happy here - You may go away wishing to be reincarnated as a small woodland mammal πΏοΈ.
