Start point
Blickling main car park, grid ref: TG178286
Step 1
From the car park, follow the signs to the park and lake. Turn right at the tree, and through the white gates into the park.
Step 2
Take the left-hand path, leaving the lake behind you. Ignore the next left-hand turn and carry straight on up the slope towards the woods. Go through the gate and up the hill and stay on this path until you reach a right turn across the field from the Tower.
Step 3
With the Tower behind you, turn right and continue on until you see the Mausoleum on your left.
Step 4
With your back to the Mausoleum, leave the main path and bear right, following the path by the white marker post. Continue on to the right, ignoring the wide tracks leading left into the woods, until you come out onto an open stretch of path.
Step 5
Halfway across, pause to look at the land as it slopes down to Moorgate and the River Bure, hidden in the trees. Some of the cottages at Blickling can be rented for holidays.
Step 6
Staying on the path, continue into the woods until you come to a crossroad in the paths. Turn right here and head through the gate.
Step 7
Continue on this path with the lake away to your left, looking for glimpses of the hall and gardens, until you return to the park gates where you started. Make your way back to the car park the way you came.
