Inspirational walks 2: Knettishall Heath

Today is Sunday, and as I had no other plans I decided to have a full writing day starting with a little inspirational walk before breakfast!  So, armed with camera and some suitably inspiring tunes  I set off for Knettishall Heath.  Knettishall is a lovely little country park practically on my doorstep - well about twenty minutes away.  It is located just off the A1066 between Diss and Thetford in sunny Norfolk.  It's quite a popular little spot locally and I often come here with my grandchildren.  The kids love to swim or paddle in the river and there are some well marked out routes if you fancy a stroll through the woods or the heath.  There are picnic tables here and public toilets and, if you're lucky, an ice cream van!

It is a beautiful, peaceful and certainly for me, an inspiring place to walk.  I got there this morning at 7.45 and apart from a few dog walkers had the place to myself.

The heath is also home to a herd of wild ponies so if you're walking with a dog there are parts where they have to be kept on a lead.  Also at certain times of the year when there are birds nesting on the ground, again dogs should be on a lead but there are always plenty of information notices about so it's not difficult to follow the rules.

As you can see there are a combination of heathland and woodland walks here and as I believe I may have mentioned in previous posts, I love trees!  I have woodland pictures all over the house; I find them so relaxing somehow and today I got the chance to add a few more to the collection!

So if you're looking for a nice, quiet, inspirational walk to get the creative juices working; somewhere where nature can nurture your spirit, this is a perfect choice - especially at 7.45 on a Sunday morning!

Happy walking!
