Peddars Way and North Norfolk Coast Path

Home | Walking Holidays | Southern England | Peddars Way and North Norfolk Coast Path

The Peddars Way and the North Norfolk Coast Path combine to make a very accessible 93 mile walk, taking in the very best of the Norfolk countryside and coastline.

The Peddars Way is an ancient road dating back to the Bronze Age, which was later developed into a military route in Roman times and was later used by pilgrims during the 15th century. The 48 mile route is for the most part straight and relatively flat, following mostly green lanes and tracks, with some interesting archaeological sites along the way. Castle Acre priory and castle are worth a visit as well as the Bailey Gate, this dates back to 1200 and the road into the village still leads through the gate today.

The North Norfolk Coast Path follows the coastline for 45 miles from Hunstanton to Cromer, passing through Victorian seaside towns, charming fishing villages, beautiful beaches, and nature reserves with a wealth of birdlife. This easy-to-follow trail offers plenty to see, with fresh seafood stalls along the way enhancing its coastal charm. The Norfolk coast is perhaps a little less known than many parts of the northern coast and, as a result, remains quieter and more unspoilt, which only adds to its appeal.

These are by their very nature, one countryside and one coastline, two very differing landscapes, but what they share in common is that they are places of peace and tranquillity. Enjoy them as separate short breaks or combine them into one amazing adventure, either way you are guaranteed a truly memorable experience.
