About the trail

The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail combines two contrasting paths. The Peddars Way follows the line of a Roman road through pleasant countryside, enjoying a mix of country lanes, footpaths and tracks through a varied landscape of open heath, woodland, rich farmland and pretty villages.

As the trail reaches the coast, the Norfolk Coast Path takes over, leading the way along a shoreline famed for its remoteness and wild beauty. Part of the England Coast Path, the walk passes through a diverse landscape of sandy beaches, reed beds, tidal inlets and unspoilt villages. Magnificent stately homes, medieval castles and the seal colonies at Blakeney Point all add to the charm of this scenic trail.

We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.

Norfolk Coast Path

Part of the England Coast Path, the Norfolk Coast Path starts in the town of Hunstanton and passes along Norfolk’s Heritage Coast to Lowestoft. The path encounters cliffs, sand dunes, creeks and golden beaches, following the sea the whole way.

There are lovely settlements to explore along the trail, including seaports, fishing villages and seaside resorts, each boasting their own interesting history and welcoming charm. Wildlife flourishes along the Norfolk coastline, playing host to a wide range of sea creatures and birds. Grey seals can often be seen frolicking around Blakeney Point, a National Nature Reserve dedicated to their conservation.

Customer reviews from the Norfolk Coast Path

“It worked well for a disabled person as we needed access to local transport and another member of the group needed the walk to be relatively flat as he has difficulty with too many hills. Great birds and flat landscape if you want an easier walk.”
Ms Steen, UK
“The walking was excellent and it really was a lovely part of the world. We are both keen bird watchers and the opportunities afforded by the reserves was excellent. We would certainly visit this part of the world again and certainly use Contours again. The organisation was perfect. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Luggage transfers and taxi links were spot on.”
Mrs Fuller, UK
“Excellent walking, very varied scenery, great B&BS and plenty of refreshment places en route.”
Mr Watts, UK
“Excellent. All worked well. Variety of accommodation from excellent to just ok. We had everything we needed for a good trip. It all worked smoothly and when I needed to contact Contours emergency number (regarding a taxi pick up) the person sorted the misunderstanding promptly. Surprisingly varied, always interesting walk, with a bit of everything. Beach, sand , shingle, dunes, cliffs, salt marshes, meadows, woodland, villages, urban (although not much) donkeys on the beach... I had not expected it to be the delight it was.”
Ms Hart, UK
“Very well organised; friendly and helpful staff at Contours. Accommodation mostly excellent.”
Mrs Williams, UK
“Thank you for arranging an itinerary that worked well for us… and accommodation overall much better than we could have hoped for.”
Mrs Gregg, UK
“For wildlife enthusiasts, about 90% of this walk falls within nature reserves. So Perfect!”
Mrs Crompton, UK
“We very much enjoyed our holiday and appreciated your willingness to tailor the mileage so that we had time to go off the route.”
Miss Morris, UK
“Even the weather was good all the time!”
