Norfolk

Coastlines, Wetlands, Heathland, and Historic Routes

From the beaches and saltmarsh of the north Norfolk coast to the wetlands of the Broads and the heathland landscapes of the Brecks, Norfolk contains a diverse network of routes, landscapes, and places shaped by water, wildlife, and centuries of movement through the land. Trails such as the Norfolk Coast Path, Peddars Way, and Weavers' Way reveal many of these environments, while landscapes including the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, The Broads National Park, and Breckland showcase some of the county's most distinctive natural environments.

Long-distance routes pass through coastline, wetlands, heathland, woodland, river valleys, and open countryside, linking historic settlements, market towns, protected landscapes, and some of East Anglia's most recognisable places. Together, these routes and landscapes reveal the character of Norfolk while providing opportunities to explore at a slower pace through self-guided travel and independent exploration.
