The Tiffey Valley Trail bordered by the Tiffey Meadows one of approximately 1,300 County Wildlife Sites in Norfolk supporting a wide range of biodiversity, noted for the undisturbed marshy grassland with wild flowers including ragged-robin, greater bird’s-foot trefoil and marsh thistle, look carefully and you might spot an otter in the river, a kingfisher, egret or owl!

The River Tiffey also has a fish pass installed by Norfolk Rivers Trust – it’s a series of pools with notched weirs for fish to migrate up and over the bridge, but also for town residents and visitors to enjoy, paddle and connect with their local river.

Look on the left horizon, beyond the The Mid-Norfolk Railway the longest heritage railway line in East Anglia, to see if you can spot a black poplar tree; it is larger than the surrounding trees.

A trail leaflet is also available from the Tourist Information Centre
