This is a 3 day/4 night (5 days in total to include arrival and departure days) self guided walk along the Peddars Way National Trail.  This will be organised by Explore Norfolk UK, so all you have to do is turn up and enjoy the stunning and unique landscape, walking an average of 15 miles a day.  

Pricing and deposit is per person.  

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 official Peddars Way trail is 46 miles which stops at Holme-next-the-Sea, but as there is no accommodation here, you need to continue to walk to Hunstanton, soyou will be walking approximately 49 miles which includes mileage to the accommodation.  This is a 3 days walking trip

Day 1 - 13 miles/20.9 km

Day 2 - 18 miles/28.9 km

Day 3 - 18.5 miles/29.7 km

If browsing this on a laptop, look to your right for further details and photos of the walk.    You'll arrive in historic town of Thetford as this is the nearest town to the start of the walk. 

This stretch of the Peddars Way starts in a pretty wood on the outskirts of Thetford and takes you across open countryside, pine forests, deciduous woods, along farm tracks and ancient Pingo ponds and the edge of MOD training zones. It’s an extremely peaceful stretch of the walk unless you have the gun fire from the army! 

Once out of Little Cressingham, much of this walk is on very quiet lanes. Hard on the feet but pleasant in amongst the open countryside. As you approach Swaffham you come off the beaten track and head back into woodland and straight tracks. More quiet roads follow as you walk through the pretty village of Castle Acre, walking alongside the ruins of Castle Acre Priory to eventually head towards Gt Massingham, passing the highest point on the Peddars Way! 

This day is the hilliest (!) walk, but starts off along some extremely straight tracks, as well as open landscape in the form of heathland, past ancient burial grounds and an old gun powder store and eventually down towards the sea at Holme (stay the night in Hunstanton).
