2 . Get your boots muddy with our Ranger Team!

Muddy Boots volunteer activities

Do you live nature and want to help us? Looking for an opportunity to get outdoors again and get your boots muddy?

Our Muddy Boots volunteer activities will start again in June 2022, and we are creating more opportunities for you to join in at our three green flag sites. We welcome all ages. Become a Muddy Boots volunteer and meet new people. Muddy Boots events are free. Don’t forget your boots!

Each site will host a regular Muddy Boots Volunteer Group to support the rangers (护林员) with their practical management and conservation work. On top of this we are also looking for volunteers to help with projects, litter picking, events, site monitoring and more.

We would love to hear from anybody interested in helping us to look after these very important local woodlands, ensuring that they are safe & welcoming for both the public who visit them and the wildlife who call them home.

To register your interest, or to find our more information please email us on countryside@north-norfolk.gov.uk.

4 . There is no better way to explore the Great Wall in China than by hiking or walking along it. Here we recommend three most popular hiking routes for you. Take your time and feel the history coming to life.

Route 1: Jinshanling-Simatai (West)

This route is also called Jinshanling Great Wall hiking. It is definitely the best hiking route if you want to see the original Great Wall. It includes some ruined sections as well as some breathtaking scenery with the Wall snaking along the mountain ridges into the distance.

Time needed: about 3 hours on the Wall                    Length: 5 kilometers

Route 2: Mutianyu-Simatai

Mutianyu is the best fully restored section of the Great Wall with convenient access from Beijing. Simatai is the most spectacular wild section of the Wall but this route is the most visitor-friendly. An overnight stay in a hotel at Gubei Water Town will allow you to have a relaxing tour of the Simatai Great Wall section.

Distance from Beijing: 5 hours by road             Wall conditions: totally ruined

Time needed: two days                                        Length: 10 kilometers

Difficulty: ＊＊＊

Route 3: Jiankou-Mutianyu (Wild Hike)

The experience will be extraordinary. When you reach the mountain ridges, you have conquered the most challenging Great Wall section. What's more, there are no crowds around you-it's just you, the mountains, the ruined wall, your guide, and the history behind these ancient ruins.

Distance from Beijing: 2. 5 hours by road                    Wall conditions: partly ruined
