There is an attractive 5 mile walk around Old Buckenham. The village itself is an ancient settlement called Buccheham in the Domesday Book. Originally, the village was two parishes, All Saints and St Andrews, but after the Norman Castle was built in the latter parish in the 12th century, All Saints became known as Old Buckenham and Saint Andrews as New Buckenham.
Old Buckenham contains the remains of a Saxon Castle and Priory founded in 1146. It remains today an attractive village centred on the extensive Church Green.

Very pleasant walk through variety of scenery. Most of the walk is on reasonably solid ground so useful in the Winter!
Unfortunately on the North/South section between Poplar Farm and the Reservoir someone has erected a sign on the route adjacent to the Farm stating "Strictly No Entry" in red letters. In addition, on the southern end of this section near the reservoir, there is a metal gate across the route. We had to turn back and use the Alternative Route . |

very nice walk, on road for part of it, but no trouble with cars etc, needs more sign posting, but well worth walking it |

A picturesque village with many interesting buildings. Paths through farmland were all easy-going, even ground. Though we were not able to complete (rain stopped play!) we found this walk enjoyable. |
