Norfolk Easy Ambles – Dementia Walk Maps

A dementia walk is a route, trail or area that has been tested to check it is dementia-friendly. These walks are tested with a strict checklist to assess their suitability for those with dementia, and also their carers.

This page contains the existing dementia walks. However, if you’re looking to map your own walk, that’s great news! To find this section, click here.

The Norfolk Easy Ambles Series is a suite of nine Norfolk dementia-friendly walking routes. They support people living with dementia and their carers to enjoy walking.

These walks give people living with dementia and their carers a chance to walk, talk, and connect. They also allow people with dementia to get active, without fear of unsuitable routes or getting lost or confused.

Each walk contains a large map. These are easy to follow. They also have a key which highlights where toilets and benches are. Disabled parking and refreshments stops are also shown.

In addition, each walk highlights points of historical interest and sensory prompts. These features are also designed to be talking points, which can help to bring up memories.

These leaflets can be downloaded for free below. You can also order printed copies of the leaflets from the Health Information Leaflet Service.
