Family Sound Walk | Guided Estate Walk
A family-friendly guided walk in the parkland, exploring the sounds of nature as you go.
- Booking essential
Join field recordist and teacher Martin Scaiff on this interactive sound walk exploring the magical acoustic habitat of the Blickling Estate. Your ears will reveal creaking trees, rushing winds, mysterious underground rumbles, unidentifiable underwater scratchings and a million other sounds and noises, some familiar, some strange, but all of them inspiring the stories we tell ourselves of our landscape and our place in it.
Starting near the main Car Park, Martin will take you on a short walk around the 'goose-foot' area of the estate, stopping on the way to tune in to sounds around you using specialist microphones and wireless headphones.
Please bring weather appropriate clothing and footwear
