Peddars Way
Norfolk Coast Path
Peddars Way
The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail is one of only 16 long distance routes in England and Wales which are designated because of the spectacular landscapes they pass through.
Peddars Way begins in the woodland of Knettishall Heath and uses a mixture of footpaths, quiet lanes and old Roman roads to reach the coastline at Holme-next-the-Sea.
The route is thought to be based on an ancient trackway used by ‘pedders’ or travelling traders in the Middle Ages. Along the way you’ll pass through heathland and pine forests and pass alongside ice age pingos (dome-shaped hills).
Keep an eye out for Black Shuck, a ghostly one-eyed hound thought to roam amongst the trees at night.
Norfolk Coast Path
The Norfolk Coast Path offers 112 miles of uninterrupted walking, covering the entire Norfolk coastline between the Lincolnshire and Suffolk borders.
The western stretches take in Hunstanton’s iconic red and white cliffs, rockpools and shipwrecks, and passes by the Seahenge discovery site at Holme Dunes. You’ll be able spot rare birds at RSPB Titchwell and explore the pine woods and endless sandy shores of Holkham and Wells-next-the-Sea. Blakeney is a great place to go seal watching and Cley and Salthouse offer unbeatable saltmarsh views.
Heading east, learn about the West Runton Mammoth on the Deep History Coast and pass through the traditional seaside towns of Sheringham, Cromer and Great Yarmouth – including heritage steam trains, a Victorian Pier and art deco promenade, and a rare wooden roller coaster, one of only seven in the world.
