WALKING HOLIDAYS IN NORFOLK
You’re never far from water when walking in Norfolk. The Norfolk Coast Path unfolds along 90 miles of shoreline, revealing birdlife-rich salt marshes, rolling sand dunes, flint fishing cottages, and handsome harbour towns. Add in Norfolk’s status as an Area of Outstanding Beauty and it’s easy to see why we’re so smitten with this rural county.

Drenched in maritime history and boasting a wealth of wide sandy beaches and wildlife-rich tidal marshes, the Norfolk coast has earned its National Landscape status. This guided walking holiday takes you along the best of the Norfolk Coast Path National Trail, from Hunstanton to Cromer. There are dramatic cliffs to marvel at, medieval ports to explore, and beautiful beaches to cross. You’ll also get to spot thriving birdlife where The Wash empties into the North Sea and visit Brancaster - the village where British naval hero, Horatio Nelson grew up.
Choose the right walking holiday in Norfolk for you
Norfolk is as bountiful as it is beautiful. The traditional flint cottage fishing village of Stiffkey is famous for its hand-picked cockles known as Stewkey Blues. After a clifftop walk over Skelding Hill to enjoy photo-worthy views from the old coastguard tower, drop down into Sheringham to sample locally-caught crab and lobster, often lauded as some of Britain’s best seafood.
Elsewhere, few places outshine Cromer when it comes to a day by the British seaside. Pastel coloured buildings line the shorefront, a Victorian pier reaches out to sea, and on sunny days, miles of golden sand beckon. When the British weather is less than flattering, however, there are plenty of pubs and cafes ready to welcome you with a warming brew and some seriously good fish and chips.
