Lovely walk along track bed of old railway. In good condition and also collected litter on the route.
Would recommend this route to all.

Completed for the Slow Ways National Challenge - splendid route.

This is a lovely route for anyone of any age or ability to try. It is mostly flat throughout, though there are areas where the pathway narrows so accessibility with a wheelchair may be restricted. If you have all terrain tyres though, this may be absolutely fine for you. The route took me just under 2 hours to walk in total so nice and easy for the keen walkers out there, and it would be even quicker on wheels of any kind. The ground is mostly gravel based from Cawston to Aylsham, but Reepham to Cawston is a little more natural and some areas where a little boggy because of the rain, so be mindful to wear appropriate footwear to deal with this. There are so many access points throughout the route too so you don't have to do the whole thing if you don't feel like it, though it is worth it for the views across the farm lands and fields, and you can treat yourself with a cake as a reward at either end too as both Reepham and Aylsham have fabulous bakeries and cafes to be found. Whilst the route isn't lit for the evenings for the majority, it is really well lit with natural light throughout the day that lets all of the pathways more accessible too. I am already looking forward to my next venture along this route next time, but with friends joining me too! I would absolutely recommend this for anyone of any ability to try.

It was a nice walk. There were some parts where you had to walk on the road which wasn't ideal. Mostly it was dirt footpaths with the majority being an old disused train track. It is a nice way to walk from Reepham to Aylsham. Some parts would not be ideal for a pushchair and some parts might be to skinny for a cycle.

Walk is over even ground for the most of it with a few stoney lumpy sections. The start in Reepham is country roads with little path ways or walking on Road, until you hit Marriott's way which is then a nice old railway way turned into a cycle way / walking path with mile markers.

The walk is half shaded by trees and some areas have some no shade. Remember to bring hats and a drink..

This walk could be done with all terrain buggy if you are outdoors parent.

A lovely route, which quickly drops onto a disused railway line(Marriots Way). This is variously surfaced, with a nice surface at the Aylsham end, moving to a more muddy path as you get away from the town. Various widths in places. Suitable for a bike, but I wouldn't take a wheelchair! Diverts off the railway for a short while through the village, I was running so didn't stop anywhere!.
