Old Hunstanton to Holkham Gap via Holme next the Sea, Thornham, Brancaster, Staithe, Burnham Overy.
Now following the Norfolk Coast Path and Peddars Way from Holme. Via dunes, a reed bed board walk, sea bank, roads, tracks, gravel and a path through a fine sandy beach to end the day.
Norfolk Coast Path
Peddars Way
A walk with a lovely variety of terrains and some great little places is a vast improvement on the fens of Lincolnshire. A regularly changing vista will keep the interest levels high even if the walking is still very flat. A slightly unecessary duck inland at Thornham to follow the Norfolk Coast Path and avoid road walking. I suspect there is a shorter more coastal route but this one is probably much more pleasant to walk. Back down to the coast for another board walk at Brancaster with sea bank to follow. The day ends with a lovely all too short walk across a stunning sandy beach at Holkham Bay.
