Exploring some of Norfolk’s finest churches!
This walking trail is a mixture of off-road footpaths and mostly quiet country lanes, usually without made up footpaths. The complete circular route is around 15 miles long, so it is probably an all day challenge for most people! We have slotted in two cross routes that enable all of the churches to be visited in two or more shorter walks.
parking and pit stops
There is parking available at the suggested starting point, St. Peter’s Church, Haveringland. If you park near to the church, please ensure that your vehicle is on the north side of the concrete (the side nearest the church) so that you do not prevent the land owners from entering their fields.
Parking here
No Parking
All of the churches are normally open during daylight hours -we hope that Haveringland Church will be open every day from early 2025, when the improvement works have been completed.
Update – April 2024
The church and churchyard are now a building site.
There will be no access to the church
and restricted access to the churchyard
during the works.
Along the way you will find public toilets at Haveringland (a portaloo is by the churchyard wall) and Reepham (off Market Place). You can grab refreshments in Cawston and Reepham – tea shops and pubs in both.
If you experience any problems, such as damaged styles or bridges, or perhaps crops, animals or fallen trees which affect your use of public rights of way, you can report any issues to Norfolk County Council using the button below:

Members of the Norfolk and Suffolk Long Distance Walking Association have also completed the walk, with a slight detour. They believe the route is longer than 15 miles…….. Here’s a report from Kathleen, one of their members:
Trail launch day
The Ten Towers Trail was launched at Haveringland Church on 23rd July 2023. Reverend Canon Julie Boyd welcomed people and revealed the trail leaflet which includes a map of the route and information about the churches on the route.
There were stalls to visit with information about the wider project of repairs, improvements and heritage activities planned for St. Peter’s Church and of course, refreshments.
Here’s a selection of photos from the launch:
