This
glorious walk takes you across wide open fields past churches,
through pretty villages and on to Weaver Way.
Alby Tearooms
Alby Village is dissected
in two by the A140, the main Norwich to Cromer road. Located
on this road is Alby Crafts and Gardens.
There is also a gift shop, museum and of course, Carole Ingrams
Tea-room. Here we enjoyed tea and home-made cakes sitting
outside in the sunshine. There is a large free car-park and
a four-acre Plantsman's Garden to visit. There is a small
admissions charge to visit the Gardens.
Tearoom telephone number
is: 01263 768719
Hours of opening: 1000 - 1700 Tuesday to Sunday, Mid March
to Mid December. Weekends only Mid January to Mid March.

The Walk: Leave the car park and turn left walking past
the front of the Horseshoes Public House immediately turning
left at the finger post there. Continue along this footpath
between houses to the metal lane.
Turn right at the Public footpath sign walking straight ahead
crossing two fields. Maintain direction towards the farm building
across a wide concrete area with a barn on the left and onto
a country lane to reach the Church.
St Ethelbert Chuch Alby, unfortunately

sited cemetery to the left of it.
