Safe Walking Route between Ludham Bridge and Ludham Village

A Walk from Ludham Bridge to Ludham Village and Back avoiding dangerous traffic

It is simply not safe to walk along the A1062 main road between Ludham Bridge and Ludham Village. There is no footpath between Johnson Street and the Village Hall and the road is narrow with blind corners and fast traffic.

Here is an alternative route along roads with safe footpaths, public footpaths and quiet lanes.

2. Continue to a road junction just past the Dog Inn and turn right into a quiet lane (Hall Road).
