About this trip

This is a 9 day/10 night (11 days in total to include arrival and departure days) self guided walk along the Peddars Way and all the way around the Norfolk Coast Path National Trail to Hopton, which is on the Norfolk/Suffolk border.   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

The Peddars Way is an historic Roman road.  Follow in the footsteps of the Romans from the middle of Knettishall Heath which is just outside Thetford, all the way to the North Norfolk Coast. On the way you'll come across priory and castle ruins, ancient woodland , heathland and arrow straight Roman roads, as well as old burial mounds and ice age pingo ponds.   This is a really peaceful wonderful walk.  


The Norfolk Coast Path, by contrast, 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 come across the coastal erosion on the eastern side of Norfolk, along with a more remote feel to it.  You'll also love the huge skies that only Norfolk can give you!

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.

A very enjoyable and stress-free holiday. All Suzy's arrangements worked seamlessly. Helpful notes and well-chosen accommodation. Would recommend Explore Norfolk to anyone planning to walk on the beautiful Norfolk Coast Path.
By Christine T for Explore Norfolk UK 4 day walk, Hunstanton to Cromer on Sep 28, 2024
We had a great trip with unexpected amazing weather for the whole week. The accommodation was lovely and the bag transfer/taxis worked smoothly. The Norfolk Coastal Path provided varied terrain, scenery and views; it was well signed and was easier underfoot than all the many other long distance paths that we’ve experienced. Thank you Suzy for your great organisation.

By Joan F for FitzPatrick 4 day walk, Hunstanton to Cromer on Sep 23, 2024
The 4 of us had a very good time on this 7 day adventure. We liked our accommodations and the lovely small towns we stayed in. However, we did not feel we were properly informed of the road conditions. We felt the loose gravel, and loose lady paths and cow pastures could have been better explained beforehand and we would have found a different road to go on. We had several falls during these difficult paths. I also think the Navigation would have been a lot easier if the route had been divided into 7 daily itineraries. The average age of our 4 women is 80+ and our technological experience is not so great so it was challenging to use the Ride with GPS app set up as it was for one complete journey!! However, we did love the trip and felt very proud of ourselves when we had completed it successfully. We had great weather, and we really enjoyed our Pub/Hotels every night. We met really friendly helpful people along the way and when one of us had a flat tire on our E-bike, a wonderful older gentleman jumped up off the bench he was resting on and said, "I can change your tire! I know how to change a tire!" And so he did!!

Our accommodations were delightful, the baggage service timely and the Ride with GPS challenging! We did not comprehend the amount and difficulty of the off road riding, 22% a day is a lot. Deep sand and very narrow paths were difficult but doable. We would have much preferred the GPS to be daily routes rather than one 7 day route. I can’t emphasize that last statement enough, as we were new to “Ride with GPS.”
