After a short distance the road bears left between the walls of a dismantled railway bridge,passes a large pond and in 150 yards, takes you up to an offset crossroads.

Turn LEFT here into Sporle Road, passing a dismantled railway bridge and continue up to the by-pass. A few yards before the by-pass, on a sharp left hand bend, you will see a little bridle lane. Turn RIGHT into this and follow it until it dips down,turns left to dive under the bypass, and turns left again, to eventually come out on the Sporle road again. Turn RIGHT here and continue along this lane, over a disused railway bridge, and down the hill to a "T" junction in the village of SPORLE.

Turning LEFT here, go past the "Squirels Dray" P.H. and the church on the right and continue to the end of the village where you come to a crossroads. Turn RIGHT and follow this for one mile until you see a sign for a golf course.

Turn LEFT into this delightful little lane which winds its way across a landscape with hardly a house to be seen. Ignore a turning on the left at Wood Farm and continue on to the village of GREAT DUNHAM. Where the lane joins a larger one, continue straight on to a "T" junction on the Litcham road.

Turn LEFT here and go straight on towards Litcham. You soon come to a lovely long downhill section which carries you quickly on to Litcham Common, (a good picnic spot) and then up to a "T" junction close by a bridge over the River Nar.

Turn LEFT here into LITCHAM village, where there are a few small shops,a Post Office, a pub and an interesting church with a red brick tower.

Soon after the church you will come to a tiny green.Turn LEFT here into a cottage lined street (signposted Gayton) until it joins another larger one going in the same direction, where you continue straight on. This road can sometimes be a little busy, but you are not on it for long. After about half a mile you will see some little cottages on the right, and soon after this, at the start of a woodland area, the main road bears off to the right and you take the litle fork to the LEFT,which dives into the woods.

Once through the dense woods you enter the parkland of Lexham Hall and then back into woods again, where the lane narrows considerably. Continue straight on down the undulating and very narrow lane into West Lexham, where the lane turns sharp left then right by the Hall.

Keep to the main track, going over the little bridge and take the next lane on the right which soon joins another up to the A 1065 Fakenham road, where you turn LEFT. Although this can be a busy road, it is very wide here, with ample room for vehicles to pass you without causing any problems, but take care. The road runs downhill for half a mile where you will see an unmarked lane on the RIGHT.

When you spot the turning, SLOW DOWN, the lane turns through 180° as you enter it and the river is by the side of the road. Continue down this narrow lane (it gets narrower) which crosses a bridge over the River Nar. The building on the bridge was once a watermill, now a "modern conversion". Once over the river the lane bears LEFT across a little green, usually inhabited by noisy geese, then on up a rise, until you arrive at a crossroads.

Go straight across here where you join another lane going to the left and which will bring you to a junction at a small green. Go straight across and up to a "T" junction, where you turn left, past bungalows and a shop,up to a sharp right hand bend in the road.

Once round the bend you are in CASTLE ACRE village centre and 50 yards brings you to Stocks Green, where the main road turns left through the Bailey Gate, part of the old fortifications.

Ignore the main road and keep straight on here, going along with the green and the church on your left. Just after the church there is an ancient cottage and then a little lane.

Turn LEFT here and follow this tiny lane down to the river,(a popular picnic place) where it bears right and goes over a very narrow wooden bridge.

Once over the river, the lane, which can be a bit stony and muddy in wet weather, climbs up for a while before leveling out and taking a sharp bend at a farm. Soon after this you will see a lane on the RIGHT, which you take until it joins a larger road going to the right.

This lane leads you through woods for over a mile before turning sharp left. The area across the road to the right is privately owned, but the owner allows public access to this pretty spot, which with the shallow, clean river is an ideal spot for picnicing with the family.

If you are not stopping, carry on around the bend and continue on until you reach a crossroads. Turn LEFT here and prepare for a long haul upwards out of the valley. The lane rises steadily for about a mile, through open farmland and then levels out into pretty woodland. Then, after about a mile and a quarter it joins a larger road going in the same direction.
