This is walk devised by Suzy to start at King's Lynn. It is a 6 day/7 night (8 days in total including arrival and departure) self guided walk which consists of 2 days prior to reaching the official Norfolk Coast Path in Hunstanton. You are provided with detailed guided walk notes from King's Lynn to Hunstanton.
Pricing and deposit is per person.
With this walk, you have the added advantage of visiting King's Lynn which has a wonderful historic quarter to explore. For part of the walk you follow the NCN 1 cycle network out of King's Lynn to arrive in the pretty village of Castle Rising, and on to Sandringham, the royal residence of His Majesty The King. The following day you continue along quiet farm tracks, walking alongside RSPB Snettisham Nature Reserve to eventually arrive in the bustling town of Hunstanton where you pick up the Norfolk Coast Path which will take you over sand dunes and beaches, national nature reserves, salt marshes and cliffs, coastal villages and Victorian towns, working fishing ports, as well as presenting you with amazing wildlife. You'll also love the huge skies that only Norfolk can give you!

Walk through the historic quarter of King’s Lynn passing numerous historic buildings and ruins and continuing along the old disused railway line which is paved. Out of King’s Lynn you arrive in another historic village called Castle Rising and on to the royal Sandringham Estate woodlands, eventually arriving in Dersingham.
A short walk through Dersingham village to arrive at farm tracks which take you all the way to the renowned RSPB Snettisham bird reserve. From here you walk along the beach and promenades all the way to Hunstanton.
This is a beautiful walk along the Old Hunstanton golf course, the sand dunes and then over to Holme Nature Reserve, along board walks, through pine forests and onto the sea defence bank towards Thornham. The next stretch of the Norfolk Coast Path takes you away from the coast bypassing Titchwell and arriving back in Brancaster.
From here you have glorious views over the marshes as you head off on yet more sea defences, out towards the sand dunes and arriving at Gun Hill. This next stretch of the Norfolk Coast Path takes in the well-known and beautiful Holkham beach and continues on to your destination of the very popular working fishing port of Wells-next-the-Sea.
Heading through more wonderful salt marshes with incredible views towards Blakeney Point, and a few sea defences and marshes later you reach the quay in the pretty village of Blakeney and continue on to Cley.
A very different day today on the Norfolk Coast Path. Heading on past Cley windmill and Cley Nature Reserve, a large chunk of this walk is shingle. It can be hard going, but the landscape and the feeling of remoteness is very different to what you will have seen so far. The landscape changes dramatically from the beginning of the day’s walk to the end. You eventually walk on the cliff tops from Weybourne to Sheringham and arrive at Cromer on the cliff face looking down on the Pier.
