This walk is an adapted version of the Felbrigg church & ice house walk provided on the National Trust website. I actually set out to do this walk, but decided on a minor route change. The route combines some of the published walking routes on the notice board in the National Trust car park.
The walk is on mostly good paths or fields, but may be slippery and muddy if there has been recent rain, especially in Autumn when leaves are on the ground. We completed this walk in October, and it was a little wet with leaves on the ground; the paths were fine. But prepare to get muddy shoes.
