At Holme-next-the-Sea, the ancient Peddars Way joins the Norfolk Coast Path, where even the shortest walk reveals a wealth of wild flowers; and rabbits, foxes and other mammals are a frequent sight. 

 

You can hop on and off the CoastHopper bus service from King's Lynn to Sheringham, to explore the coast and relax whilst someone else does the driving.

 

There are various easy access walks and paths within the areas of Sandringham, Titchwell, and Holkham which have been developed by The Norfolk Coast Millennium Access Project.

 

Further south, the Peter Scott Walk follows the old sea bank along the Wash from King's Lynn, west – you can take the passenger ferry from King's Lynn to west bank of the River Great Ouse to pick up the start of this walk.

 

Further inland, the Fen Rivers Way, a long distance path between Cambridge and King's Lynn traces the course of the rivers that drain slowly across the Fens into the Wash.

 

The Nar Valley Way also starts at King's Lynn and tracks east following the course of the River Nar terminating at the Rural Life museum at Gressenhall. The River Nar is recognised as one of the finest chalk streams in East Anglia.

 

These long distance paths, together with hundreds of shorter local circular and linear walks, form a network suitable for every kind of walker in some of England's most unspoilt countryside.

 

There are various country parks and protected woodland nature walks to explore such as Shouldham Warren and Dersingham Bog, where you will also find Wolferton Cliffs. 

 

Norfolk Wildlife Trust also provides details of walks in nature reserves such as Roydon Common, East Winch Common, Grimston Warren, Ringstead Downs, Narborough Railway Line, Holme Dunes NNR. 

 

As well as privately managed walks such as the Sandringham Woodland Walks.

 

When walking in the countryside please follow the Countryside Code.

 

Leaflets are available on walks and other items including, Maps and Guide Books.  Alternatively contact the Tourist Information Centres.

 

Why not try a Treasure Trail in King's Lynn, Hunstanton or Castle.  The trails by Norfolk Treasure Trails can be downloaded from the internet and are a great family activity that won't break the bank.  Trails usually take approx 2 hours and come in murder mystery, treasure hunt and spy themes.  Follow the clues to solve the mystery.
