Norfolk Coast Path
The Norfolk Coast Path is usually combined in guidebooks with the Peddars Way, although there is obviously no obligation about walking both. The main reason for combining the two is that one is considered too short.
We have chosen to split the paths; those wishing to walk both can easily access our Peddars Way info.
Accommodation
There is plenty of accommodation on the Norfolk Coast Path. We have split accommodation into Hotels & Inns and Bed & Breakfast. We have included Guest House accommodation with Bed & Breakfast. While we realise many guest houses are as good, if not better than, some hotels, in order to avoid confusion we have opted for the simpler option.
We are always looking to improve our information, and welcome accommodation recommendations.
Restaurants and Pubs
We have attempted to give as much information as possible, especially giving information on pubs that serve real ale and/or food; but restaurants and pubs are notoriously changeable. Please let us know if our information is out of date.
Guidebooks & Maps
Guidebook
Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path
By Bruce Robinson
Includes relevant sections of OS maps at 1:25,000 scale, and as long as you do not stray far from the path, no other maps are required. Fantastic value.
Maps
Do not feel tempted to save money buying the 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey maps; they do not have anywhere near the same detail as the 1:25,000 scale maps, and do not show field boundaries.
The guidebook mentioned above Includes relevant sections of OS maps at 1:25,000 scale. However, for those wishing to stray a little from the Norfolk Coast Path, or those who feel safer with OS maps, or for those who just like to own maps (like us), we include the following information.
The following Ordnance Survey `Explorer’ maps at 1:25,000 scale are required – but please note that the first two are common to both the Peddars Way and the Norfolk Coast Path:
| 229 | Thetford Forest in the Brecks |
| 250 | Norfolk Coast West |
| 251 | Norfolk Coast Central |
| 252 | Norfolk Coast East |
