FRITTON & St.OLAVES - 4 mile circular walk, NORFOLK, U.K.

[@mrashby3545]

That's a lovely walk, passing a few of the historical sites as well. Absolutely love the priory, such a marvellous building. There's another railway bridge further back into the Bell Hill Battery (near to Belton holiday park) it sit's on the marshland which is now private farming land. If you can get permission by the farmer, it's well worth a visit. Further inside the Bell Hill Battery is the old gun emplacement. It's heavily overgrown, and you can walk through the woods and not notice that it's there. Sadly, and very sadly, a few years ago, it looks like some younger folks had a camp out/ party night there and dug away a small section of the emplacement wall/mound. I was horrified to see such mindless vandalism. I really enjoyed this video, thank you for taking us on the journey.

Hi, I know about the other bridge visited it many times as a young boy to the back of the wild duck, sad to see these things getting mistreated. Glad you enjoyed the circular walk

Hi, I also love St.Olaves Priory, that brick vaulted ceiling is stunning.

Fritton woods is a travesty of what is was when I was a kid, and camped there, seventy years ago. There were no beaten paths, no dog walkers, no large cleared areas. It was all mostly undisturbed forest with the railway running through; steam trains, and we would look out for the fires they sometimes started. The public were not able to use it as they do now. It was once a lonely, wild and beautiful place for us country boys to explore.

Everytime I go, I always seem to bump into off-road bikers 🚴 My first visit was about 40 years ago & it’s changed so much & not for the better🥲It’s still a very special place too me as I’ve always lived close by & still visit regularly.

It’s a shame the woods car park was closed

Hi, yes I agree with you, real shame it was closed, but I believe it was closed for a very good reason. If what I’ve been told is true
