Stay between countryside and coast
The Gin Trap Inn sits in Ringstead, a village surrounded by farmland and quiet lanes a few miles inland from the Norfolk Coast. With rooms alongside its village pub and restaurant, it provides a rural base for walking and exploring this part of West Norfolk.
The Peddars Way passes through Ringstead on its final approach to Holme-next-the-Sea, making The Gin Trap Inn particularly well placed for walkers nearing the end of the trail. From the village, the route continues north towards the coast, where the Peddars Way meets the Norfolk Coast Path.
Ringstead lies within the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, where inland farmland and villages give way to the marshes, dunes and beaches of the coast. Footpaths and quiet lanes provide opportunities for shorter walks directly from the village, while Hunstanton and the western Norfolk coast are within easy reach.
At Holme-next-the-Sea, walkers reach the dunes and coastal landscape around Holme Dunes Nature Reserve. From here, the Norfolk Coast Path continues east towards Thornham and Brancaster, opening up a much longer stretch of the Norfolk coast for walkers using Ringstead as a base.
