The Norfolk Coast Path must be one of the finest long distance footpaths in the country, and is very popular with serious walkers and strollers alike. There's plenty of room for all, though, and it never gets too crowded. It is situated almost entirely in an area of outstanding natural beauty and the bird life can be stunning. Officially it starts at Holme-next-the-Sea, where the Peddars Way joins, and goes to Cromer. There is a branch, though. that goes from Hunstanton to Holme, so Hunstanton is a popular starting point. One huge advantage is the Coasthopper bus service, which parellels the route for the whole way with a 30 minute service each way throughout the summer. Thus one can take the bus to a starting point, walk for as long or as short as you wish, and simply jump on the bus again. Most of the route is flat, through coastal marshes, dunes and the beach, although there are one or two detours inland. As well as the villages near the path, there's plenty of interest along the way. The is a nature reserve at Holme, a RSPB reserve at Titchwell, where you can usually catch sight of a marsh harrier or two. An old roman fort at Brancater, an activity centre at Brancaster Staithe, a popular cafe and backpackers hostel at Burnham Deepdale, boat trips from Burnham Overy Staithe, a nudist colony on the beach between there and Holkham Beach. The latter is often included in the list of top ten beaches in the country. Cafe by the each at Wells-next-the-Sea, and excellent fish and chips in the town about a mile inland. Seal trips at Morston Quay, quaint village at Blakeney, bird spotting at Cley marshes, Cley Windmill, and another interesting village. Cliff walk from Weybourne to Sheringham, where there are shops, cafes, pubs and of course fish and chip shops. Similar in Cromer. Much more for the discerning hiker!!
