The Boardwalk
Right on our doorstep is the Southrepps Common Nature Reserve. It comprises of 12.4 hectares of woodland, reeds, sedges, grass and rare wild flowers, spreading over five sites in Lower Southrepps village. About half the reserve is a ‘Site of Special Scientific Interest’ and a ‘Special Area of Conservation’, providing home to an exceptionally wide range of habitats and species. There is an 800m ‘Board Walk’ to explore the area and keep your feet dry all year round! Click here for more information and here for more pictures.
Southrepps Circular Walk
The Southrepps Circular walk is a gentle 3.5 mile stroll around the area. It passes along the footpath by the cottage and only a small deviation will take you to the Vernon Arms for refreshment. Click here for a map.
