Explore the Norfolk Coast Cycleway

Heading out on your bike on holiday is one of the best ways to explore the area. Hitting the open road on two wheels often allows you to take in so much more than if you were restricted by a car or public transport. Norfolk offers a great opportunity to traverse a unique and changing landscape from historic towns to quaint villages, seaside hideaways to sprawling woodland.

Whether a seasoned cyclist or a newcomer Norfolk’s relatively flat landscape makes for an unintimidating journey. You also needn’t worry about bringing a bike with you, as there are numerous local cycle hire companies that can deliver bikes and safety equipment suitable for riders of all ages. So while you are enjoying a break with us why not head out on one of the following routes?

Ringstead Loop – 23 miles

Enjoy the changing scenery from the Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton to rural open landscapes. Along this route, you’ll enjoy the stunning scenery and sweeping views of the wash. There are also plenty of opportunities to stop for a refreshment break or for some souvenir shopping along the way.
