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 other highlight on this particular 6 day package is the accommodation that you stay in on your second night.  This is a 14th century farmhouse that was originally built as a College for Priests.  With a wonderful owner, and a home cooked evening meal, you won't want to leave this B&B!  The price therefore includes one evening meal.  If you would like a slightly cheaper option, please contact me.

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.

This was a fantastic walking holiday. We had a couple of questions beforehand and a response was received quickly via whatsapp. Everything was well organised and there were no hiccups at all on arriving at our accommodations throughout. All accommodation was excellent - especially the hotel in Blakeney, The Manor Coastal Hotel and Inn. There was also a fantastic restaurant in Blakeney called The Moorings, we ate there both nights as it was superb. The pizza restaurant on the front at Wells next the Sea was also superb and we chatted with the owner while we waited for our fresh cooked pizzas to arrive. However everywhere was lovely and the walk itself was amazing! The information provided was excellent and included a book that covered the 3 major walks in Norfolk with lots of useful information. I can definitely recommend and we would use this company again when we decide to finish the coast route from Cromer.

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.

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!!
