Bike Ride to Hickling Nature Reserve

I decided to get my bike out today (in a never ending attempt to get fit!) and cycled to nearby Hickling Nature Reserve.  It took me around 25 minutes and is probably about 3.5 miles from the Dairy Barns.  It was worth the ride as I had a lovely walk around the boardwalks and a boat ride across the broad to the tree tower from which the views are outstanding.  I finished it off with an ice cream at the visitors centre before heading back, if I had more time I could of happily stopped off at the Greyhound Pub for a bite of lunch in their garden.  If you bring your own bikes to us here at Dairy Barns Norfolk there is plenty of room to store them and there are also a couple of good hire companies that will deliver bikes to us.  We’re so lucky to be located in such a great part of Norfolk – so much to do right on our doorstop.
