When I\u2019m not out exploring, I work for a university, but I try and get away as much as possible, trying out new walking routes and inspiring other people to get outside with their dog. I hope I\u2019m not too weird in the fact that I also love nothing better than settling down with a cuppa and a map and plotting a new walking route!\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-your-favourite-route-or-place-to-go-and-why\">What\u2019s your favourite route or place to go and why?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emily-gill-on-a-rock.jpg\" alt=\"emily gill on a rock\" class=\"wp-image-15259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emily-gill-on-a-rock.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emily-gill-on-a-rock-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/emily-gill-on-a-rock-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My all-time favourite place to walk is the North Norfolk coast, and more specifically Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham. They are both dog friendly year-round, and I love nothing more than heading to the beach. My favourite route starts in Wells, heading across the beach and through the pinewoods before taking in the stunning Holkham Park and Hall. And like all great routes it has some fab pub and caf\u00e9 stops, plenty of opportunities for fantastic photos and finishes at the chippie where you can enjoy fresh fish and chips on the quayside breathing in the sea air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"587\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/holkalm-nature-reserve-map.jpg\" alt=\"holkalm nature reserve map\" class=\"wp-image-15260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/holkalm-nature-reserve-map.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/holkalm-nature-reserve-map-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/holkalm-nature-reserve-map-768x451.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"block_420d57237b8643a3d5c06afb50af1f1e\" class=\"Inner InnerButtons\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center justify-content-md-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"InnerButtons__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/18708531\/wellsnextthesea-to-holkham?lat=51.776100&#038;lon=-1.894300&#038;zoom=7.0000&#038;style=Standard&#038;type=2d%20\" class=\"Button Button--blue \" target=\"_blank\" >\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tNorth Norfolk Coast Walk\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<g>\n<path d=\"M5 12H19M19 12L12 5M19 12L12 19\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/g>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"block_4a64ffb6a0bf0753ba03ef77a51b6298\" class=\"Inner InnerGoodToKnow\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row align-items-center jusitfy-content-start\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"InnerGoodToKnow__icon \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<g id=\"info-circle\">\n<path d=\"M15.9994 21.3333V16M15.9994 10.6666H16.0127M29.3327 16C29.3327 23.3638 23.3631 29.3333 15.9994 29.3333C8.63555 29.3333 2.66602 23.3638 2.66602 16C2.66602 8.63616 8.63555 2.66663 15.9994 2.66663C23.3631 2.66663 29.3327 8.63616 29.3327 16Z\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"2.664\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/g>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"InnerGoodToKnow__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWant to find out more about how to start hiking?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"InnerGoodToKnow__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Read our complete guide to Hiking for Beginners, everything you need to get started from essential equipment to fitness and safety advice &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/guides\/hiking-for-beginners-a-complete-guide\/\">Hiking For Beginners<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@greatbritishdogwalks\/video\/7503105466382208278\" data-video-id=\"7503105466382208278\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\" > <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@greatbritishdogwalks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@greatbritishdogwalks?refer=embed\">@greatbritishdogwalks<\/a> One of my favourite walks in Northumberland!
