  Walk #215: Wroxham to North Walsham via Aylsham
The Bure Valley railway is a 15" narrow gauge railway that was constructed in about 1990 It follows the course of an old Great Eastern Railway line which opened in 1880 and closed to passengers in 1952, although freight traffic did not cease for another thirty years.
As I walked along the Bure Valley Way I caw a few trains come past me at speed, and despite the fact that it is a narrow gauge railway the locos seemed to be gong quite fast, although that may just be a feature of the fact that they are quite small.
The Bure Valley Way is only a concessionary path, and the public are allowed to use it at their own risk.
