This four mile circular guided walking tour takes you through Fairhaven Garden, a beautiful natural Broadland Garden. Enjoy fabulous candelabra primulas and azaleas in spring, wild flowers, butterflies and dragonflies in summer and wonderful autumn colours and see the King Oak, a sapling at the time of the Battle of Hastings.
The tour features a peaceful bridleway connecting Fairhaven with Ranworth and the popular Malthouse Broad.
St Helen's church dates from the 14th century. The church has a magnificent 15th century rood screen, one of the finest in the country and the superb 15th century Ranworth Antiphoner, a richly illustrated liturgical book.
The church tower is normally open and a climb to the top offers fabulous views of the Broads landscape.
