Downham Market to King's Lynn
A station-to-station walkNorfolkEast Anglia
Recommended: An excellent, predominantly rural riverside route along an embankment beside the river, on mostly flat, firm ground through meadows. It is very exposed to wind and rain with no shelter and there is a step-over stile at the Downham Market end. Follows the Fen River Way; very quiet away from King's Lynn. Several interesting churches along the river are worth visiting, including the ruined church at Wiggenhall St Peter.
Waterway: nine tenths along the River Great Ouse.
St George's Guildhall: Rare large medieval guildhall (National Trust; 1h to visit).
Lunch: A couple of pubs along the way.
Warnings: The route is fully exposed to the weather with no shelter from wind or rain. A step-over stile at the Downham Market end limits access.
