Organised by Dereham Walkers are Welcome, the route provided a variety of interest, with a range of paths, tracks and country lanes, taking them through woodland, beside streams and across fields.
There was time for a short pause at Wyvern Farm, where everyone stopped to say hello to the donkeys and alpacas.
The walkers came back along quiet back routes to return to the railway station to enjoy a late lunch in the refreshment room.
