I’ve scaled much of Norfolk since setting up Routes for Little Boots in my quest to find family-friendly walks. I've been delighted to find there are absolutely loads! Narrowing down a list for the whole of Norfolk is quite hard, so this list focuses on Norwich and the surrounding area. There are so many places... Continue Reading →
Upgate Common (Swannington)
I adore this walk. It's one of those places you feel is a bit of a secret and you don't want to share with the world! But that would be uncharitable of me. It's perfect for the hot weather at the moment to stop us from melting, as most is under the cover of the... Continue Reading →
Castle Acre – a gem in West Norfolk
Castle Acre is a little gem of a place in West Norfolk and I can't recommend it highly enough! Aside from being really special to me (it's where my husband proposed and where my distant relatives lived for generations!), it is steeped in history with both castle and priory ruins, but also has some great...

Glamping in North Norfolk – the story of a reluctant camper!
I have a confession to make. I love the outdoors. I love walking. Running. Cycling... but I am yet to fall in love with camping. Sorry! I did my Duke of Edinburgh. I can pitch a tent. But I think we just haven't got round to it as a family. And my husband needed some... Continue Reading →
Ranworth – one of my favourite family walks…
Ranworth & Malthouse Broads (NR13 6HY) I visited here with my family in the winter and did a review, but decided to return again a few days ago. It is a beautiful place and perfect for a family walk at any time of the year... but it comes alive in the summer! I’ve been coming... Continue Reading →
Thank you for being part of the Routes for Little Boots journey (so far…)
Routes for Little Boots started as my project for the Digital Mums Social Media Management course. It was the perfect partnership for me - inspiring other families (hopefully!) to stick on a pair of wellies and go bounding out into the great outdoors, as well as learning about the ins and outs of the world...

Week 7: #TinyTRex18 in… West Norfolk!
I can't believe this is our final week of the #TinyTRex18 campaign! We've beaten the snow, squelchy winter mud and arctic winds and trekked our way around every district of Norfolk. And it's been worth every minute! Our final area to cover is Kings Lynn and West Norfolk. Like Breckland and South Norfolk, it's an... Continue Reading →
Week 6: #TinyTRex18 in… Breckland!
It's going to be quite a short blog for this week of the campaign, as snow has stopped us getting out on our adventures! This is such a shame as I don't know Breckland particularly well and was looking forward to finding new routes. My favourite place in Breckland (by some margin) is Castle Acre.... Continue Reading →
Week 5: #TinyTRex18 in… North Norfolk!
North Norfolk is one of the most fabulous places – I could stay up there for weeks on end without getting bored, there’s so much to do! It’s the kind of place I want to escape to if I’ve had a rough week! Wells Beach, in particular, is my happy place. I’ve been coming up... Continue Reading →
