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.

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.”

Well organised, very good communication beforehand accurate detailed walk notes plus useful map and guidebook, luggage transfer perfect Taxi arrived for pick up just as expected (like end of episode 2 of Back to the Future…) Interesting range of hotels - with surprisingly, a bath in virtually every one.

A good trip. Organisation, information, accommodation, baggage transfer etc all very good. The trail itself was of course flat throughout. Well signposted. First couple of days heading south west from Cromer were, as expected, nothing exceptional by way of scenery, meandering through a mixture of trail and narrow lanes. No problem with the lanes - traffic was slight and accommodating with drivers giving lots of space to walkers and friendly waves. The middle part was mostly on disused rail lines, often surrounded by foliage so no great views. The remainder of the Way was much more interesting through the Broads, much of it alongside river banks. The waterway system was interesting and well worth the trip. Very quite with very few long distance walkers. So, all in all, peaceful and enjoyable with a company who got everything right.

Everything went as planned, accommodation was comfortable and fit for purpose. Itinerary was generally achievable and very fortunate with the weather. Overall a rewarding experience.
