Norfolk Walking Holidays

The Norfolk Coast Path, Peddars Way and Other Trails

Our Norfolk walking holidays are something to remember!

• Imagine taking your walking holiday along the stunning Norfolk coastal path and ending the day watching the sun setting over the salt marshes, harbour or even the sea!
• Or following in the footsteps of the Romans along the historic Peddars Way trail from Mid Norfolk all the way to the coast.
• Or discovering exactly what it's like to take a walking holiday in the Norfolk Broads
• Or just having a short break walking holiday in Norfolk

Well, we offer you a chance of doing just that with a variety of self guided walking holidays to choose from in this historic and beautiful county of Norfolk.

The main trail in Norfolk is The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path which is a combined National Trail offering you a wonderfully peaceful and historic countryside walk along the Peddars Way together with the stunning and diverse coastal landscape of the Norfolk Coast Path. 

• But we also offer other long distance walks and short break walking holidays for you to choose from as well.

Explore Norfolk UK has varying Norfolk walking options and ideas for you.

Walking has become one of the most popular past-times in the UK, and honestly, Norfolk is a fantastic place to walk as it’s all pretty much easy graded.  No huge mountains here, just an occasional incline!

Explore Norfolk UK has been offering Norfolk walking holidays for a good number of years now and we have some excellent testimonials to prove our track record of offering you the following:

• really good accommodation where it's possible, 
• giving you excellent directions and maps 
• finding the walk that suits you best over your timescale
• and last but not least, having great communication from beginning to end!

How Can We Help You?

The most important thing for us is "how can we help you"?  Read on to find out!

• You may be taking your first self guided walking holiday and want a gentle introduction to easy graded walks, 
• maybe you're an experienced walker but looking for a less energetic and strenuous Norfolk walking holiday and are keen to ensure it’s completely hassle free and easy to organise.   
• perhaps you're a solo walker who wants the added comfort of knowing that because we live in Norfolk, you can contact us at any time should there be an emergency.  
• maybe you're coming from abroad and want help in planning your walking holiday around your trip to the UK.  
• perhaps you're a group of friends or a local walking group who want a walking package organised for you.

We can help you find the Norfolk walking holiday that will fit with your requirements.

With our Norfolk Coast Path and Peddars Way walking holidays you can:

• decide how far you'd like to walk each day
• which trail you'd like to walk 
• where you'd like to walk from and to
• discuss with us any options you'd prefer (you may not want to walk the whole of the Norfolk Coast Path for example, you may only want to walk 3 days and 10 miles each day) 

With us, you'll have the walk you  want and feel totally comfortable  from beginning to end that this walk is suitable for you.

What I would suggest is that you browse through the options below, see which walk you would like to choose, whether it be a Norfolk Coast Path walking holiday, or Peddars Way walking holiday, or perhaps even a walking holiday in the Norfolk Broads or one of our short break walks. You can then fill out the booking form, or contact us via the enquiry form or email me at suzy@explorenorfolkuk.co.uk.   In each instance, we can discuss the walks further with you and they can be tailor-made to fit in with your plans.

Why choose Explore Norfolk UK

There are many excellent reasons to choose to take your Norfolk walking holiday with Explore Norfolk UK, and here they are:

• I actually live in Norfolk, we know the county extremely well  (as you can see from the rest of the website) and it’s very personal to me.  I love these trails and I want you to have the same experience that I have every time I walk them.
• I am only a phone call away should you need us in an emergency.    
  
• Because I live in Norfolk, I know the best sights for you to visit on your rest days and in the timescale you have (which I like to encourage if you would like to see a little bit more of Norfolk). 
  
• I have personally chosen your accommodation.   This is very important to me.  I have met with the owners of each and every accommodation I put you with.  I know they are very friendly and accommodating and I also know what the bedrooms and bathrooms are like.  I would hate to send you to somewhere I haven’t visited in the “hope” that it would be sufficient.  If I find one that is not up to standard, they get crossed off the list.   In fact I go as far as to transfer you to the nearest decent accommodation if necessary.  I do not like substandard accommodation (unless you are happy to put up with basic accommodation, in which case please let me know).
• I know the towns and villages you will be staying at.
  
• I am a small business and pride myself on my friendly customer service.  Your enjoyment of your walking holiday is of paramount importance to me so I will look after you extremely well.   Your money is also always safe.
• Over time I will be increasing the amount of walks that you’ll be able to do in Norfolk so it’s great to get to know the company you’re dealing with.  
• Don't take our word for it, read our testimonials!

Come and enjoy what mother nature has given to us – this beautiful county of Norfolk!

Why not let Explore Norfolk UK help you finally get a date in the diary to come and walk these wonderful trails?

As I live in Norfolk I've obviously only picked the Norfolk walks and trails. Both the Norfolk Coast Path and the Peddars Way are graded easy to moderate which is an ideal introduction to first time walkers, and perfect for those that fancy something a bit easier on the body.

And through our ever-growing website, you’ll also be able to browse and search for other places of interest you’d like to visit alongside your Norfolk walking holidays.

You can ask for help at any time from start to finish, the booking process is easy, and you leave the rest to us, meaning you’ll start your holiday in a completely relaxed frame of mind.   This will be a memorable and enjoyable Norfolk walking holiday.

Norfolk is quite simply:

• beautiful,
• diverse,
• rich in heritage,
• has some of the best bird watching in the UK,
• has a coastline to die for and
• has rural countryside which is full of historical intrigue,
  

and you can experience all of this on one of Explore Norfolk UK's walks.

Just think, you'll finally have time to:

• relax
• reflect
• have the time to talk to your partner/friend/family, and to enjoy yourself
• marvel at the incredible nature
  
• explore somewhere maybe you don't know such as Norfolk?

Along the Norfolk Coast Path and Peddars Way you will pass from

• woodland 
• to open countryside
• to heathland 
• and pretty flint stone villages
• to sand dunes
• cliff tops
• National Nature Reserves 
• to Victorian towns to splendid
• glorious and grand stately homes and grounds!  

What more could you want!?

Along the Wherryman's Way you'll be closely following:

• the River Yare, 
• walking amongst the reed beds of the Broads
• discovering what the Broads is all about.  

Actually, one thing you won’t get here are large hills!  So all of the Norfolk walking holidays with Explore Norfolk UK are easy to moderate going which is excellent if you’re new to walking, or if you want a less energetic walking holiday.

Why not read my blog on my Norfolk Coast Path walk which I did in 6 days (before it was extended - then I had to walk the rest!), or the blog on my 4 day Peddars Way walk.

Rest Days

If you would like to take a rest day on your Norfolk walking holidays then we can fit that into your itinerary.  

There are wonderful castle ruins to see, stately homes that will blow you away, other circular walks in the surrounding areas and of course the amazing nature reserves.  All of these are well worth taking a day off for, and I will be very happy to explain more, or suggest ideas. Or you can browse this Explore Norfolk UK site for more information on what you would like to see. It always seems a shame to me that you might just walk these long distance trails but not see the surrounding areas.
