Trail directions
Spout Hills
Spout Hills spans fourteen acres of lush greenery, teeming with wildlife. A natural spring-line runs through the valley, once serving as Holts water source until the 1940s.
Access steps to old rail track.
At top of Spout Hills take the steps down and turn right on to the old rail tack.
Old Rail Track Fork
At this fork, you can continue straight along the track or take the woodland path to the left. Upon exiting either route, turn right. Both paths offer a field view before leading through more woodland and opening onto a field that descends to Letheringsett Ford.
Letheringsett Ford
The ford crosses the River Glaven and is deemed 'unsuitable' for motor vehicles.
Letheringsett Water Mill
Letheringsett Watermill is the last remaining watermill in Norfolk to produce flour!
