A stones throw from the City of Norwich and just off the bypass at County Hall. Whitlingham Country Park is partly a man made delight of Broads, walks, an Outdoor Adventure pursuits facility and an old flint barn, now a cafe serving food and drinks, which is open all year. A public paying car park with toilets. There’s even a camping site. Picnic areas are dotted throughout the park. It’s well maintained and the gravel path around the Great Broad is generally accessible but can flood at times. Wellies come in handy!
There’s a lovely woodland walk or a path around the marshland. Whatever you decide it’s a beautiful spot to visit all seasons. It’s a natures delight with the help of mans intervention which has been throughout history. The wildlife can be full of surprises. It’s a great place to come and enjoy whatever your pursuit. It’s also part of The Wherryman’s Way which starts from the city near the train station and takes you through the peaceful Norfolk Broads to Great Yarmouth.

Nice end to the busy weekend. Lovely stroll round the lake. Great place to take the dogs for a long walk somewhere new for them. Paths are great under foot and all litter free. There are plenty of dog poo bins so no need to leave it. Plenty of signage dotted around all with the what three words location, so if you do get into any trouble, the services will find you with ease. Paid parking but not a great amount.
Good well marked out paths. Suitable for a push chair.
A fallen tree was blocking one and we also found a lifebelt not in its correct place.
I dont see why you cant swim here. There is an adventure centre with canoes. If you fall out of the canoe, you are swimming!

Really lovely spot to spend an hour or two taking in the views and enjoying the wildlife.
Parking is currently £6 for the whole day but shorter time slots are available but I think you'd need at least two hours to make sure you get all the way round the broad without stressing about parking fines.
Lovely cafe with toilet facilities. I recommend Danns ice cream and a pupsical for your four legged friends.

We had a nice walk around the broad with the dog. My first time there. I can't wait to visit again. We went in the cafe and the surrounding woods
A lovely spot for a short walk in nature without having to venture far from the city. Remarkably peaceful considering the proximity to the city and plenty of wildlife to see. Loads of parking and what appears to be a nice visitor centre and cafe.
It’s maybe a couple of miles walk around the lake, about 45 minutes. Lots of places to sit down and take in the views and there’s more to explore in the vicinity, like the woods.

Lovely area for a walk on the outskirts of the city. It is very popular at the weekends, but if you have time during the week it is really peaceful. Perfect place for dog walks. Lots of other water activities too.
Very nice varied walk. We did the lake circular, with the little forest add on which made it just over 4.5 miles. The hide is nice and there are lots of well placed benches to look over the lake and river Yare which runs alongside. We took our dog and had an ice cream at the Cafe. Really lovely place to be right on the edge of a city. Lots of parking, payable by the 'Pay by Phone' App, card or cash. £5 for 4hrs.
