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.

Peddars Way

Peddars Way starts at Knettishall Heath and follows an ancient Roman road through the Brecks to the Norfolk seaside town of Hunstanton. As well as quiet river valleys, ancient heathland and rich farmland, the trail visits many historic towns and villages, each with their own amazing stories to tell.

Along with the wealth of history on display, this walk offers ample opportunity to spot rare wildlife, including deer, stoats, foxes and an array of birds that make this area their home.

Peddars Way is part of the Great Chalk Way, a 400-mile-long trading route traversing the south east of England. Contours Holidays don't currently cover the complete trail, but our Ridgeway itineraries may also be of interest for anyone stitching together a Great Chalk Way hike.
