Aylsham guided walks

Explore the history, wildlife and hidden treasures within the charming Norfolk market town of Aylsham through one of themed guided walks taking place throughout July and August.

Organised by the ‘Aylsham Walkers are Welcome’ committee, the walks are short and easy going, incorporate parts of the Norfolk Trails’ Marriott’s Way, and will be led by the town’s Heritage and Wildlife society volunteers.

The walks are being supported by Norfolk County Council as part of the COOL Tourism project to promote rural tourism in the county along the Norfolk Trails – and the market town of Aylsham as a great location for walking and cycling enthusiasts. The project is funded by the EU Interreg Programme and European Development Fund.
