Burgh-next-Aylsham, Brampton, Oxnead and Buxton
The River Bure corridor between Burgh, Brampton, Oxnead and Buxton offers public walks through water meadows, river edges, ditches and farmland. The county club describes connected routes using the riverside paths and Bure Valley Path, so these neighbouring village recording areas are combined as one walking destination. Little Egret, Grey Heron and Mute Swan are documented, with Reed and Sedge Warblers in the warmer months. Choose a section to match the time available rather than expecting a reserve circuit. Keep to public paths where the route passes mills, fields and private gardens.
