Norfolk Walking Holidays

Self-Guided Walking Holidays on Norfolk's Most Beautiful Trails

Walking holidays in Norfolk offer something many parts of Britain can't: huge open skies, peaceful landscapes, fascinating history and miles of well-marked trails without the crowds. Whether you're following the dramatic Norfolk Coast Path, walking the ancient Roman route of the Peddars Way or exploring the varied scenery of the Weavers Way or taking a pilgrimage along the Walsingham Way, every day brings something different.

I'm Suzy Watson, a Norfolk local who regularly walks these trails myself. Since 2014, I've been helping walkers discover the county through carefully planned self-guided walking holidays, combining comfortable accommodation, luggage transfers and local knowledge that only comes from living here.

From salt marshes and sandy beaches to historic villages, woodland paths, stately homes and the unique landscapes of the Norfolk Broads, these walks are designed to help you experience the real Norfolk at your own pace

Why Walk In Norfolk?

Norfolk is one of England's most rewarding walking destinations. The county's flat terrain makes it ideal for walkers who want to enjoy the journey rather than tackle steep climbs, while its remarkable variety of landscapes means no two days feel the same.

During your walk you will discover:

The sweeping coastline, beaches and salt marshes of the Norfolk Coast Path
Ancient routes including the Roman road of the Peddars Way
Historic market towns and traditional Norfolk villages
Stately homes and landscaped parklands
The waterways, windmills and wildlife of the Norfolk Broads
Woodland trails, chalk streams and quiet countryside
Excellent local food, seafood, pubs and cafés along the route

Norfolk's network of long-distance trails crosses coast, countryside and Broads landscapes, offering some wonderful varied walking experiences.

I offer the following walks for you to choose from (or we can organise something a little bit more bespoke):

Whether you are local to the UK or travelling from overseas, I will make your holiday worry-free, personal and convenient.

You may be an experienced walker who would like something a little less energetic.

Or perhaps you're a solo or beginner walker.

You may even be a group of friends who would like to take a break together.

Norfolk Walking Holidays will find a walk that it suitable for you.

Put on your walking shoes, and follow me into the history of Norfolk.

Local Knowledge Makes the Difference

All of the routes featured on Norfolk Walking Holidays have been researched and walked by me personally. Living in Norfolk means I can offer practical advice on routes, accommodation, places to eat and the hidden gems that guidebooks often miss.

When you book a holiday, you're not dealing with a national tour operator or a call centre. You'll be speaking directly with me, Suzy, who knows the area and genuinely wants you to enjoy the best possible walking experience in Norfolk.

Which Walks Do We Offer?

I offer walks along the Norfolk Coast Path and the Peddars Way which is one of the 15 National Trails in the UK, as well as two other long distance trails, one in the Broads called The Weaver's Way and the other from Norwich to Walsingham which is a Pilgrimage walk called the Walsingham Way.

One thing to note, Norfolk doesn't offer steep or difficult terrain (apart from one small stretch on the Norfolk Coast Path!), but I'll tell you exactly where this is and the alternatives if you want them!

GREAT for those of you wanting a less energetic walking holiday, or maybe even if you're new to walking.

Long distance Walks

The Peddars Way has a long and celebrated history. You’ll walk in the footsteps of the Romans as they built and used the road to police rebellions in the territory around 61AD.

Along the path you’ll find a peaceful and historically rich landscape. Wildlife, pine forests, villages, quiet country lanes and open countryside. As the road was built by the Romans, you will find long, straight stretches of road where you can enjoy the solitude or imagine the historic significance of the road beneath your feet.

The Peddars Way

The Norfolk Coast Path is breathtakingly beautiful. An endless sky above you and the sand dunes and beaches beneath your feet guide the way. You’ll find national nature reserves, salt marshes, cliffs, and lovely and welcoming coastal villages and Victorian towns. There is so much to see and experience in every direction you’ll welcome a brief respite to take plenty of photographs, take in all the scenery and relax in some of the lovely villages and towns along the way.

The Norfolk Coast Path

The Weavers Way is one of the new Norfolk walking holidays that is a completely varied and fascinating walk which starts on the Norfolk Coast at Cromer and ends up at Gt Yarmouth. However, in between these two Norfolk towns you walk through the beautiful parklands of two historic stately homes, along an old disused railway line which has two wonderfully well kept platforms, woodland and into another part of the Norfolk Broads. A few historic round tower churches appear right on the path and eventually the landscape changes dramatically to the flat meadows and dykes of the Broads.

Why Norfolk Walking Holidays is your best choice

Being a resident in Norfolk, as well as living close to the Peddars Way specifically, I really do immerse myself in the landscape and culture of Norfolk. My experiences of living here give you an advantage you won’t find with any other walking company.

Me, Suzy Watson!

Knowing the history, the environment and the best sights to see is something I consider a privilege, because I am able to share it with you.

As a local, knowing and hearing how much you’ve enjoyed your visit is the most wonderful part of organising these Norfolk walking holidays for me.

I pride myself on making this a personal and local experience that you cannot find anywhere else.
