The Northfolk Project
Geology Walks 2020
Springtime around Roman Camp
Hill walking in Norfolk on the North Face of the Cromer Ridge!
Starting from the beauty spot of Roman Camp we will explore the beautiful wooded landscape on the North Face of that great glacial feature, the Cromer Ridge.
The walk is 4.6 kilometres (2.9 miles) and rises and falls through 112 m (408 feet) over its course; not easy in Norfolk. It covers a diverse range of habitat and several climatic zones. Features of this walk will include:
- Incleborough Hill viewpoint (72m)
- Roman Camp and Beacon Hill (105m)
- A view over Doggerland (more than 23,000 square km of unexplored landscape flooded by the North Sea over 8000 years ago)
For meeting point see the section below.

Clothing
Please come adequately dressed. It's really important that you are well prepared.
The paths are reasonable, but please:
- Wear boots or at least very stout shoes.
- Wear clothing suitable for any weather (be that rain, wind or shine), waterproofs, a hat is always a good idea and an umbrella is really cool if rain is forecast (you stay dry while all around are getting damp).
- Do bring some refreshment: sweets and/or a bottle of water as the walk lasts two and a half hours or more.
Inclement weather
While the walks have a really remarkable record of getting fine weather, there is always the chance of a really bad day. In the event of bad weather the leader will always turn up at the starting point. I work on the principal that there is no such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothing. We can still have fun, even in the rain. But if it really is that bad we can take a vote on what to do.
Dogs
Unlike the beach walks we shall be moving more and talking less, so dogs (on leads) are welcome to come of this one. I may well have my own dog Suki along too.
