Market to Marshes: Guided Walk or Cycle Tour | Norwich Science Festival

The gentle walk will follow largely traffic-free paths (walkers and cyclists take parallel routes) and reunite on the reserve for a short explore. Expect seasonal highlights: birds along the river, seasonal plant ID tips, lichens and mosses on ancient trees, stories of floodplains, rewilding, and how cities can make space for nature. UEA academics and students leading the walk will have on hand a couple of simple citizen-science observations to try using cutting edge apps (bring a smartphone if you have one).

More of a cyclist? Then take the same route led by NWT and Cycling UK staff. Discover the best way to cycle from the city to the marsh. When booking, please select the cycling ticket.

The event will end at Sweet Briar Marsh, where attendees can roam around the marsh at their own pace. Please note that the guided tours will not make the return journey back to the city centre

Under-16s must attend with a responsible adult.
