Norfolk Coast Protected Landscape is delighted to announce the installation of seven new interpretation panels along the Norfolk Coast Path National Trail.
Designed to engage and educate, the panels provide key information about the local wildlife and habitats, while also encouraging visitors to take simple steps to respect the protected species that call the Norfolk Coast home.
The panels have been created with accessibility in mind, ensuring that more people can enjoy and learn from them. Meeting national accessibility standards, they feature Braille, tactile elements, and visually engaging content to make the information as inclusive as possible.
The panels are positioned along a stunning stretch of the Norfolk Coast Path National Trail, between Hunstanton and Snettisham, which passes through the Norfolk Coast National Landscape and the Wash and North Norfolk Marine Protected Area Network. This area is of international importance for its wildlife, habitats, and seascape.
Chair of the Norfolk National Trail Partnership, Councillor Andrew Jamieson says: “Not only do these panels look fantastic, but real care has been taken to ensure that people of all ages and abilities can engage with them. The interpretation is both inviting and informative—capturing attention while educating visitors about the unique wildlife and habitats of this coast, and how we can all help protect them. I hope to see more interpretation of this quality across our coastline in the future.”
As part of the Norfolk Coast Path National Trail, these panels also form part of the King Charles III England Coast Path—the 4,500 km walking route that will encircle the entire English coastline.
This project has been made possible through funding from the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk’s Rural England Prosperity Fund, with additional support from Natural England, Ramble Worldwide Outdoor Trust, and Norfolk Coast National Landscape.
