Day 1 Walk

Day 1 Walk image

10 miles/16.3 - walking from Hunstanton to Brancaster

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.

Day 2 Walk

Day 2 Walk image

12.5 miles/20.11 km - from Brancaster to Wells-next-the-Sea

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. 

Day 3 Walk

Day 3 Walk image

8 miles/12.5 km - from Wells-next-the-Sea to Blakeney

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. From here you can see the windmill at Cley which you’ll be walking past tomorrow. 

Day 4 Walk

Day 4 Walk image

7.5 miles/12 km - from Blakeney to Weybourne

A short walk over the sea defences and you arrive in the attractive flint stone village of Cley. This is a very different walk today on the Norfolk Coast Path. Heading on past Cley Nature Reserve, a large chunk of this walk is shingle. It can be hard going on this part of the Norfolk Coast Path, 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 arrive on the cliff tops at Weybourne where coastal erosion is very evident. Stay in Weybourne if there is availability. Otherwise catch the bus back to Blakeney.

Day 5 Walk

Day 5 Walk image

7.5 miles/12 km - from Weybourne to Cromer

Either walk from Weybourne if you stayed the night here, or catch the bus and continue on the cliff tops until you reach Sheringham and begin to feel the coast getting more built up. Climbing up to Beeston Bump which once housed a WWII radar listening station, you continue on to Cromer and arrive on the cliff face looking down on the Pier.

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.
