The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail is effectively two long distance paths in one. If you're a nature lover then Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path will have plenty to offer you - Peddars Way is a Roman road which passes through the Brecks, an official area of environmental sensitivity, while Norfolk Coast Path runs through the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

There is much history to be seen on Peddars Way, together with an interesting series of sculptures created out of a project to explore Peddars Way, its creation and relationship with the land and people of the area.

By contrast, the wide open vistas and myriad wildlife of the Norfolk Coast Path blend with flint villages and harbours from bygone days to give a vivid sense of our long relationship with nature and the sea. It's an area of great importance to bird watchers and is well known for a variety of local seafood dishes.

By National Trail standards, Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path is a relatively easy walk to undertake, though some sections, especially on the Norfolk Coast Path are exposed and can be quite hard going, especially in less clement months.
