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.

Customer reviews from the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path

“An interesting and enjoyable trip to a part of the country that had hitherto been unknown to us. Good walking, good accommodation and as indicated above a varied and interesting landscape.”
Mr Gill, UK
“Overall it was a very pleasant walk. Nothing strenuous. All arrangements went according to plan.”
Mr Frankham, UK
“Beautiful wide open spaces with lots of seabirds to observe.”
Mrs Bunn, UK
“We really appreciated the effort put in by yourselves to accommodation our tailored walking holiday. It was the best marked route we have ever followed. Trail was well maintained. The trail went from woody to beach. I loved when we hit the Norfolk coastal paths and walked along with the sea by our side.”
Ms Wilson, UK
“It was a great experience. The B&B's ranged from satisfactory to excellent, luggage transport went without any problem and the route is nice and (also important) very well marked.”
Mr Severens, Netherlands
“We like the walk very much. There were so many different things to see - architectural styles, flint or stones, changing landscapes from very quiet old roman road to bustling seasides and different kinds of flowers and birds.”
Mr Stoecker, Germany
“Outstandingly good. Contours provided a fully reliable service with everything going according to plan. We highly recommend this holiday company.”
Mrs Collins, UK
“We have told many people about Contours & how happy we are with the service. We hope to do another hike in 2023.”
Dr Larson, USA
“The countryside is wonderful, the straight flat roman roads were a refreshing change from the previously hilly areas.”
