Walks in the East of England

The East of England is one of nine official regions of England, created in 1994 and adopted for statistics from 1999. It includes the ceremonial counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. The region, while not popularly known as a walking hotspot in England, is nevertheless one of much beauty. While not having any mountains, nor any extensive range of moorland, the area does boast a variety of natural features such as isolated hill ranges, the heathlands of Norfolk and Suffolk, forests such as Thetford, woodlands such as those east of Norwich, and of course the extensive wetlands such as the Fens and Broads. It also has an extensive and diverse coastline which is most attractive to wildlife. While I did not visit the area until 2018 it is an area I plan to explore more. When in the region I particularly look for walks of natural beauty while also seeking out history, notable architecture, natural heritage and wildlife spectacles, so expect to find walks of that ilk here. And keep looking in — more and more will appear over time.
