Wiveton Downs • North Norfolk



I covered the village of Wiveton in Norfolk in Issue #1 of the Norma Explores magazine. (Available HERE via Kofi). If you visit the village it's worth a visit to Wiveton Downs. This small heathland nature reserve has some wonderful walks, as well as views over the nearby villages.


It's a Site of Special Scientific Interest and it is in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.


During late April and early May there is a wonderful bluebell display, while August brings an abundance of brambles fruiting.

I have been trying to organize my photos and videos lately. It's a huge task, so I'm just plugging away at it in between other jobs.


I finally got Mac back and immediately ran away. Three weeks in one place waiting for him to be seen by the mechanic had made me a little stir crazy and I needed to get away.


I headed south to the safety of familiar ground to start my adventure. Over the last eight days I overnighted in five counties, wandered the lanes of six different villages and towns, visited four National Trust properties, and walked just over 57 miles. I've gathered enough material now to produce Issue #2 of the magazine and our next free newsletter, so now it's time to get all the pieces assembled.


I've returned to base and swapped Mac for Norma for the next week or so. More space and a leisure battery will make the magazine producing a lot easier. I'm hoping to turn it around in the next couple of week. As ever, it will be available for free to my Patreon tiers of £3+ per month, or available to free members or Kofi followers at £3 per issue.

If you don't already, please follow us on socials by searching @Norma_Explores and support us for free on Kofi or Patreon to additional content. If you enjoy what I've been sharing and want to buy me a coffee it all goes toward my travel expenses and lets me spend longer on my research visits.
