The Peddars Way begins at Knettishall Heath and follows the line of an ancient Roman road north to Holme-next-the-Sea. From here, the route continues as the Norfolk Coast Path, tracing the coastline through iconic seaside villages and nature reserves such as Holkham, Wells, Blakeney, and Cley, before reaching the popular town of Cromer. The path then rounds the county shoulder along sandy beaches and crumbling cliffs through Mundesley, Sea Palling, and Great Yarmouth, finishing just before the Suffolk border. A 40-mile extension continues from Cromer to Hopton-on-Sea, giving walkers a true taste of East Anglian coastlines.
