Product Description

The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path together form the 93-mile (149-km) National Trail that starts near Knettishall in the Brecklands on the Norfolk-Suffolk border and runs north-west to meet the shores of the Wash near Hunstanton before turning east to follow the beautiful North Norfolk coastline to Cromer. The first part of the route, The Peddars Way, follows the route of a Roman road, running arrow-straight along the chalk ridge of north-west Norfolk; the Norfolk Coast Path, in contrast, follows the seawall along the beaches and around the muddy creeks that form a coastline that is home to some of the most famous and spectacular nature reserves in the country. This is the complete, official guide to the entire route for both the long-distance walker and the weekend stroller.

Thumbs up
This book is all anyone needs for undetaking the Peddars Way and Norfolk coastal path. It has clear 1:25,000 maps with the route highlighted and guides you through the trail with words. It also manages to give a insight into the Roman History of the area and some geology also. However the trail is unbelieveably well signed posted and a 1:50,000 map with some common sense would see you along the trail safely. The book is a handy size to carry and to an extent good for planning. It does give you numbers and addresses which may be useful to whose booking accomodation and transport but i feel more energy should of been placed into this section. The book is certainly worthy of any National trail guide and is the only guide available for this walk to my knowledge.

Everything you need to walk this trail
Used this guide when walking this path. It provided all of the infromation and mapping that I needed. Also good practical tips, historical data etc. Only thing you need to get extra are local bus timetables if you wish to use public transport whilst in Norfolk. Overall, defintely recommended.

Peddars Way Walk
An excellent informative book. I am currently using it for the Peddars Way section. The maps are perfect for our needs and the snippets of information make for an even more interesting walk. Highly recommended.
