Coltishall 010512 3 Miles

Coltishall, Bure valley railway and a walk along the river Bure. A walk of celebration, today is a special anniversary for me.I did this walk on 260310 as a Walk for Health walk. Still lovely countryside, rolling fields, bird song with me for all the walk, delightful.

A health walk today starting from the Coltishall village hall car park in Rectory Road. Turn right out of the car park and then a left through Coltishall, past the pub, until turning left into a wide path, past a converted chapel, looked good, and onto a path overhung by trees. joining a road we eventually climbed a good few steps to take us onto the track of the Bure Valley Railway.
  This takes you under two beautiful red brick bridges and eventually to Coltishall Station where the stations buildings are now a Bed and Breakfast. Leave the railway here and a right turn at the end of the drive takes you back along the road to the Coltishall Island and the bridge. Cross a busy road and enjoy a wonderful walk along the gently flowing river. You can cross over the river by the sluice and return through a woodland path to the Coltishall Island and back to Rectory lane.
