About your trip

This is a 4 day/5 night (6 days in total to include arrival and departure days) self guided walk along the Norfolk Coast Path National Trail, starting at Cromer and finishing at Hopton.  This will be organised by Explore Norfolk UK, so all you have to do is turn up and enjoy the stunning and unique landscape. 


 Pricing and deposit are per person. 

Highlights

You may have already walked the Norfolk Coast Path from Hunstanton to Cromer.  If you have,  you'll find this stretch is very different to the first stretch.  It has a completely different atmosphere and feel to it, and I always think it's a bit more open, rural and wild.  The towns and villages aren't quite as upmarket as the North Norfolk coast!  


If you haven't already walked the first stretch, then this will be a lovely walk for you.


You'll experience sand dunes and beaches, SSSI reserves, an iconic red and white lighthouse, cliffs and very evident coastal erosion, seals on Horsey beach (hopefully you'll see these),  and in and out of the busy town of Great Yarmouth heading towards the Norfolk/Suffolk border at Hopton.

About your organizer

I'm Suzy Watson, and I established Explore Norfolk UK in 2013. This covers walking and cycling holidays. As I was walking along a stretch of the Norfolk Coast Path and being stunned by its beauty yet again, I suddenly realised just what I could offer visitors to Norfolk. Then a cycling route came along so I did the same for this! So, as well as living in Norfolk, I am here to give you the opportunity to book a fantastic and memorable Norfolk walking or cycling holiday through Explore Norfolk UK, a truly Norfolk business.
