November 23, 2024, Wymondham Waterfall Steps

The Wymondham Waterfall Steps are formed where the River Wreake flows over a series of low weirs or cascades, creating a small "waterfall" effect.

Founded in 1107 by William d'Aubigny, the butler to King Henry I, Wymondham Abbey was once a thriving monastery. However, it was closed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII, with the abbey officially surrendered to the crown in 1538. Today, the building serves as an Anglican parish church.

There is a point in the map that looks like you take a path at the bridge you make your way to the rail track however you need to go through the allotments to get back to the rail track as there is no way down to the track from or near the bridge

Has that curious thing of being impressively intact at one end but partially ruined at the other. Very grand for a parish church!

Just a signal box and a level crossing over the single track line. Not a busy line so the crossing is rarely closed!

There are bike racks in the car park outside if you're popping in. There are a few outdoor picnic tables so you can keep an eye on your bike.

Great to walk through, but not always yellow as the same crops doesn't grow year after year. Please note that the footpath can get very muddy, even with little rain
