With stunning coastlines, picturesque gardens and the famous wide skies, Norfolk is filled with romantic walks to take your special someone.

Across the county, there are endless trails waiting to be discovered and many of them have beautiful views. 

And Wells-next-the-sea has recently been named one of the most romantic destinations in the UK. 

Here are seven places in Norfolk to enjoy a walk with your partner.

1. Blakeney

Norwich Evening News: Many are moving to the coast and countryside for space after spending so much time at home during the pandemic

Blakeney National Nature Reserve is the remedy for sore eyes, with its wide open skies and miles of beautiful Norfolk coastline, ideal for walking and wildlife spotting.

The natural sand dunes allow walkers to keep out of the wind and an array of pubs, gift shops and art galleries welcome all weary travellers.

2. Blickling 

Norwich Evening News: Woodland at Blickling Estate in Norfolk will be part of a network of ancient trees dedicated to the Queen to mark the Platinum Jubilee.

With walks set in and around the idyllic grounds of Blickling Hall, enjoy the best of what's to offer in spring when the bluebells come into bloom. 

The Stables and Muddy Boots cafés at Blickling Hall offer hot and cold drinks, light meals, snacks and cakes that will keep you fuelled on long romps through the woods. 

3. Bure Valley

Norwich Evening News: The Bure Valley Railway runs between Aylsham and Wroxham.

Known chiefly for its tourist railway, Bure Valley is also home to trails and footpaths for its more sure-footed visitors. 

Set off from Aylsham, take a wander through medieval Oxnead and end up in Keepers Meadow campsite for a night under the stars. 

4. UEA Lake

Norwich Evening News: The walk around the UEA lake is one of Sarah's favourites

Known as one of the city's most romantic walks, the trail around UEA's lake is the perfect accompaniment to a visit to the Sainsbury's Centre or a gig at the LCR. 

Feed the ducks or stop for a picnic at one of many benches, the 1.5 mile walk is a perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. 

5. Holkham

Norwich Evening News: Claims online suggesting there was no swimming allowed at Holkham beach due to raw sewage have been dismissed

The walk to Holkham through evergreen woodland and onto gleaming sandy beaches will have you wishing you could never leave. 

Only a stone's throw from Sandringham, the beach was known as Queen Elizabeth's favourite corgi-walking spot.

6. Mousehold Heath

Featuring breathtaking views of Norwich, Mousehold Heath is the best place to watch the sunset over the Cathedral in the summer. 

Join dog walkers and couples on the heath's many woodland walks, or hop on your mountain bike to take advantage of its extensive biking trails.

7. Peddars Way

Norwich Evening News: Ancient path Peddars Way runs close to Fring on its way to the Norfolk coast

A true hiker's challenge, Peddars Way makes up 49 miles of coastland from Hunstanton to Knettishall in Suffolk.

A multi-day affair if you go the whole way, experience seaside towns and villages, tidal flats teeming with local wildlife, long sandy beaches, and get lost in pine woodlands.

Sounds perfect.
