Holiday information

 

A walking holiday in North Norfolk

This self-guided, hotel-to-hotel walking holiday reveals a coastline like no other – home both to vast sandy beaches and pristine nature reserves teeming with birdlife. As you walk, discover North Norfolk’s rich history and culture; visit stately Holkham Hall; and stay at welcoming accommodation of character.
The North Norfolk coast is a fluid place. A watery, low-lying scape of shifting coast, rolling hills and flowing skies. At its edge, long stretches of shingle beach and tidal flats give way to textured strands of marsh and dune. Behind which, in muted layers of grey and green, are grazing marshes, incised by lines of reed and reen.

Such variety of habitats mean wildlife – and particularly birds – are everywhere: from the bitterns and marsh harriers that scan the summer reed beds to the wildfowl and waders that fill the marshes in the cooler months.

Norfolk has always had more to offer than unadulterated nature, however. This is a county with a long and fascinating history, fragments of which remain imprinted upon today’s landscape: the beautiful medieval churches built with the proceeds of a once prosperous wool trade; vast landed estates where royalty and nobility have passed their days; and the many small harbours that hark back to a time when Norfolk’s 100-mile coastline was vital to England’s trading efforts.

Taking the time to explore on foot yields further delights: sleepy villages of pretty, flint-and-brick cottages; well-signposted paths that guide you seamlessly through peaceful woodland and protected nature reserves; an efficient bus network which makes it wonderfully simple to adapt the routes to your preferences; and a growing food scene, featuring much seasonal local produce. Perhaps surprisingly, for a destination that still lies off the beaten track for many, the standard of accommodation here is also top-notch, with the inns, guesthouses and hotels offering warmth, character and comfort for each night you spend in this charming rural idyll.

 

Itinerary

The key to Inntravel holidays is flexibility. You can start on the day of your choice, and are free to add extra nights.

Many of the walks we suggest can be tailored using the excellent local bus service; pay locally for this, and for any other journeys, visits or excursions you undertake.

We have not provided elevation profiles for any of the routes on this holiday because it is largely on the flat.
  • The average maximum daytime temperatures and monthly rainfall relate to the nearest weather station and are intended as a guide only.

    East England is less prone to rain than the west, but you should always be prepared for wet weather.

  • Arrival in Snettisham
    Night 1: at The Rose & Crown (the first of two nights here).
    As your first night’s accommodation is on the day of travel, Day 1 is your first day of walking.
  • Circular route from Snettisham: 10.5km (6 miles), 3.5hrs; ascent/descent 65m
    Your first walk provides an ideal introduction to the great diversity of the North Norfolk coast. Departing on foot from Snettisham, you follow a route which leads through mixed woodland, marshes and meadows, enjoying views across the vast Wash estuary as you go. Highlights include visits to the expansive sands of Snettisham and to the RSPB Nature Reserve, which attracts an extraordinary concentration of wading birds, particularly between August and January.

    Today, you also have the option to travel by bus* to Sandringham Estate, the Queen’s much-loved Christmas home. It is possible to visit the house itself, as well as the landscaped gardens and surrounding parkland.
    *Or by car, if you have driven to the holiday.
    Snettisham woods
  • Snettisham to Holkham: 8.5km (5.5 miles), 3-4hrs; ascent 15m/descent 30m
    Today begins with a short bus journey to Old Hunstanton, a coastal village known for its striking cliffs of red limestone and creamy chalk. Your onward route offers a similar feast for the eyes: following the Norfolk Coastal Path, it traverses sand dunes and nature reserves – including wildlife-rich Holme Dunes – and also passes the site of Seahenge, a 4000-year-old Bronze Age timber circle that was discovered in 1998 and is now on display in nearby King's Lynn. Your target is the attractive village of Thornham – we recommend lunching in one of the well-regarded pubs before completing the remainder of the journey to Holkham and The Victoria by bus.

    It is possible to continue on foot (add 4km/2.5miles): following a meandering boardwalk through high reed beds, you pass the Roman fort at Branodunum and arrive in Brancaster Staithe – a once busy harbour which still has an excellent reputation for seafood – before walking on to Burnham Deepdale, from where a bus will convey you to Holkham.
    Walking the coastal path
  • Choice of routes from Holkham: 9.5 or 14km (6 or 8.5 miles)
    We provide notes for two superb walks from Holkham, either of which can be combined with a visit to Holkham Hall, ancestral seat of the Earls of Leicester. Built in the Palladian style between 1735 and 1764, the house is beautifully kept, its treasures including artwork by Gainsborough, Rubens and Van Dyck, while the extensive grounds contain a six-acre walled garden, boating lake and deer park.

    Linear route to Burnham Market: 9.5km (6 miles), 3-4hrs; ascent 30m/descent 25m
    On an already unique coastline, Holkham’s panoramic beach is exceptional, ranking as one of the most beautiful and unspoiled in the country. It is also a National Nature Reserve, its sand dunes, pine woods and grazing marshes providing the perfect habitat for a wide variety of migratory and nesting birds. Starting here, your route continues along the coast to Burnham Overy Staithe – a small harbour of bobbing boats – before heading inland to Burnham Market via windmills and wildflowers, historic churches and a ruined abbey. There’s plenty to interest in Norfolk’s prettiest town, from charming Georgian architecture to independent eateries and specialist shops; enjoy a leisurely exploration before making your way back to Holkham by bus.

    Circular route via Wells and Warham: 14km (8.5 miles), 5hrs; ascent 80m/descent 90m
    Another option is to follow the sands to Wells-next-the-Sea, passing high dunes and brightly painted beach huts en route. Pretty Wells is a historic harbour town with a traditional seaside feel – you’ll spot visitors fishing for crabs, sampling the local rock or snacking on ice-cream – and it is also where you will find the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway, a heritage steam railway that is the smallest in public operation. A short journey aboard will bring you to the pilgrimage town of Walsingham, whose celebrated shrine, ruined abbey and impressive timber-framed buildings are well worth a visit. Return by train to Wells, or disembark instead at Warham to walk back via Holkham Park.
    Linear route to Burnham Market - approaching Burnham Overy Staithe
    Circular route via Wells - Wells-next-the-Sea harbour
  • Holkham to Blakeney or Cley: 13km (8 miles), 4.5hrs; ascent 30m/descent 25m
    Leaving Holkham behind, you journey first to Wells – either on foot or by bus – before enjoying a leisurely walk along the coast to Blakeney. Your route leads through the Blakeney Nature Reserve, where daily tides flood the twisting creeks and create a perfect haven for birdlife amid the pristine sandbanks. This stretch of coast is also home to the UK’s largest seal colony – seal-watching boat trips are available locally from Morston – and is known for its sea lavender, which punctuates the green, salt-washed seascape in high summer. Continue to Blakeney, which is the perfect example of a Norfolk harbour village with its narrow streets, flint-pebble cottages and quaint, family-run shops. Your final two nights are either spent here at Blakeney House, or at our upgrade option, the nearby Cley Windmill, which is reachable by bus or on foot.
    Walking across the creeks
  • Circular route from Blakeney or Cley: 11.5km (7 miles), 3-4hrs; ascent/descent 65m
    Your final walk combines many of the ingredients that make the North Norfolk coast such a rewarding place to visit: there are grand churches to admire; excellent country pubs to try; boats clustered in the creeks; wildflowers brightening the meadows; and villages steeped in historic charm. Whether you begin in Blakeney or Cley, you will have the chance to visit the Cley Nature Reserve, whose reed beds, grazing marshes and saline lagoons provide some of the country’s best bird-watching opportunities, as well as the Wiveton Downs, from where you can cast a last lingering glance to the sea.

    Well organised enjoyable holiday. excellent walking notes. Good accomodation. Went as solo travellor and found it a rewarding experience 

  • Mrs M Seward

    This was a really lovely trip enabling us to visit on foot parts of the Norfolk coastline and its hinterland we had never got to know before, in spite of many visits in past years with our birdwatching group. We had amazingly good weather and were able to make good use of the excellent itinerary and notes - and the excellent local bus services. All the hotels were welcoming and comfortable and we very much enjoyed our stays there as well as the walks we did in beautiful scenery. Our grateful thanks to Inntravel for making it all possible! 

  • Mrs G Lawson

    17 June 2024

    We enjoyed the walking holiday in Norfolk very much but thought it would be better to end the trip in Holkham as The Victoria was such a special place to stay. So on day two after Burnham Staithes instead of catching the bus to Holkham go right through to Blakeney on the bus and stay there and do the walks, so you then go to The Victoria at Holkham for your last two days.  

  • Dr E Rose

    17 June 2024

    We've done many walking holidays with Inntravel and other companies in the past. Although we are both now over 80 and not as fit as we were, we were delighted to find this walk as well within our capabilities 

  • Kati, Surrey
    15 June 2024

    Pleasant receptionists at the Rose and Crown, however, the evening meal(s) were poor. Accommodation and food were excellent at the Victoria. The Windmill's situation in Cley was lovely, however the room was a little tired. There was only a hand held shower in the bath without shower curtains. In Cley we would NOT recommend the George and Dragon for food. We strongly recommend The Harnser for an evening meal in Cley: both the owner and the chef were most welcoming and the fish was fresh and delicious.

  • Anon
    11 June 2024

    A delightful holiday in a beautiful area with some great easy walking! Added to this the opportunity to experience Sandringham and Holkham Hall, two superb country estates well worth a visit. Two of the three hotels were wonderful with exceptional food. Ensure that Inntravel send you all the documents, as we did not receive anything, not even by email, which could have made it a difficult holiday!

     

  • Anon
    01 June 2024

    A very enjoyable coastal walk. All three of the accommodations were very comfortable, and the evening meals at the Rose & Crown and Victoria Inn were delicious. Staying in the Windmill at Cley was a real experience, and we found the nearby George and Dragon pub friendly and serving good food.

  • Anon
    26 May 2024

    The highights were visits to Sandringham Estate and Holkham Hall (book well ahead to check and ensure access) by public transport/ walking. It was wet, so not all of the walks (eg, around Snettisham) were doable. Included meals were very good throughout and accommodation at The Victoria and the Rose and Crown perfect. We were surprised to receive an account at the Victoria, where we were on half board, which included an unexpected 15% "discretionary service charge", but it was readily removed upon request.

  • Mark
    16 September 2023

    Delightful holiday with very varied scenary with good accommodation throughout. We greatly enjoyed it.

    For sandwiches etc we would recommend Two Magpies Bakery in Wells a few yards on after you get off the bus. They appear again on the harbour at Blakeney. Thanks for those who recommended the Lynx App for the buses. If you have a bus pass you get a reduced rate when you pay before 9.30am. Very grateful too for the recommendation for The Moorings at Blakeney

  • Mr M Hendrikson
    Haddington
    07 September 2023

    The walk around Snettisham (circuit to the sea) needs a bit more of a warning in the walking notes, given the volume of traffic plus state of footpath on some short sections. 

  • Mrs B Albert
    Leatherhead
    04 September 2023

    We were very impressed with the Moorings restaurant at Blakeney which was recommended by you. Very friendly welcome (which was a welcome change from Blakeney House), sympathetic service, good food (and sensible portions). Thoroughly recommend. 

  • Mrs M Caller
    London
    22 July 2023

    It was a superb route - with superb food and accommodation. If I did the walk again, I would prefer to stay somewhere else in Blakeney and pay more. The food at Blakeney House was excellent, but the quality of the accommodaton was poorer than the other 2 places. The Victoria was fabulous.

  • Mr P Lees
    Wigan
    14 July 2023

    The Rose and Crown had a lively atmosphere with very friendly staff and clientele. The Victoria was an all round wonderful experience. Every one of the walks was a highlight. We had a great holiday.

  • Mr D Singleton
    Wigton
    01 July 2023

    Another enjoyable Inntravel holiday, well organised and arranged as usual. The highlight for us was our stay at the Victoria Inn - a wonderfully comfortable hotel with excellent accommodation and food. The Coasthopper bus service was great for enabling us to vary the distances walked and take account of the weather.

  • Mr MH Smith
    Wolverhampton
    16 June 2023

    Surprisingly [to us] varied and interesting terrain. Wonderful weather and natives universally friendly!

  • IPBRE
    12 June 2023

    This was our first visit to this part of England and we enjoyed our short holiday there. Taking an extra day at Snettisham allowed us to visit Sandringham, a short bus ride away. Buses were very good and the timetables at each stop were fairly accurate.

  • Ms D Browne
    Wolverhampton
    05 June 2023

    As birdwatchers, this holiday was perfect for us as we had the flexibility to choose which reserves we wanted to visit, either in addition to or instead of the suggested walks. As mentioned by other reviewers, the local bus service was a great help and very reliable. 

  • anon
    11 May 2023

    We enjoyed the relaxed walking and the variation provided by the visits to Sandringham and Holkham Hall. The accommodation was good throughout with very good food.  We particularly enjoyed our stay in the Ancient House at The Victoria in Holkham. There was plenty of opportunity for birdspotting and watching nature with the countryside being full of hawthorn blossom, cow parsley and alexanders.

  • Mrs W Gilbert
    Kingston Upon Thames

    TIPS: You need to book dinner ahead when staying at Cley Windmill. More info on nearby restaurants would be useful.

  • Mrs L Jones
    South Croydon
    17 April 2023

    We really enjoyed this holiday in North Norfolk, an area we had explored before.  Inntravel have done well to provide a variety of walking in the area - not just the coast path.  We would recommend using the Coastliner and Coasthopper bus services if you find the wind is coming from the east - it is not much fun walking into it for miles!  At the Rose and Crown we had a room as far from the bar as it was possible to be so they had obviously taken note of some comments from reviews in 2022.  Blakeney House now provide a 5 course tasting menu (which we enjoyed very much on both nights we were there) but, for information, it costs £10 more than the Inntravel allocation and does not provide a choice - although the chef was very ready to provide alternatives where necessary.

  • Anon

    This was our first Inntravel holiday, we both really enjoyed the experience and we'll certainly be looking to book again in the future.

  • Mr J Gorrie
    Edinburgh
    04 September 2022

    Highlights: Probably the last day. After the walk along the seawall and coffee in Cley,  the walk inland St Margaret's Church and up over bridge at Wiverton and on wards was very pleasant and the most enjoyable walk. The sun shone, and the church at Wiverton was ringing a bell in memory of the Queen, and a welcome pint in the Wiverton Bell as a rain shower passed over was just the thing.

    Note the recommendation for the Moorings.

  • Mr S Kelly
    High Wycombe
    03 September 2022

    Lovely walking holiday. Highlights were Holkham Hall. So much to explore and so many deer. We also included a trip to see the seals from Morston Quay which we can recommend but do remember to plan ahead.

  • Anon
    14 July 2022

    The Victoria Inn and Holkham were definitely the highlight and delighted we booked our extra night there rather than Blakeney.

  • Mr PA Birch
    Bridge Of Weir
    05 July 2022

    This was an excellent walk for anyone interested in birdlife. We saw more than 50 types of bird in 6 days including spoonbills, avocets, little egret, hobby, marsh harriers and redshanks.

  • Anon
    02 July 2022

    We had a really enjoyable holiday - our first time in Norfolk. We enjoyed the varied and different scenery; on the wash at Snettisham, the salt marshes and beaches on the coast and countryside further inland. All the hotels were excellent. We especially liked the bedroom at The Victoria Inn which was a good size and very comfortable. The welcome we received at each hotel was very friendly and the food at each was also excellent. We found the walks provided by Inntravel very good but it was also good that there were options for varying routes/doing your own thing, which we did on a couple of days. Sadly both Sandringham and Holkham Hall were closed on the days we had planned to visit but we enjoyed walking in the parkland and visiting the gardens anyway.   
 

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • Yes, prior to going on holiday you will be able to download GPX tracks so that you can follow your route on your smartphone or dedicated GPS device if you wish. It’s entirely up to you whether or not you use them – our detailed, step-by-step route notes remain the principal means of guiding you from A to B – but we provide them as a secondary means of navigation for additional reassurance when walking.
  • Yes, absolutely. Over the years, we have arranged a great many holidays in the UK for customers living in the USA, Canada, Australia and beyond.

    If you've never travelled with us before, it's worth reading the web pages which explain how we can cater for customers who live outside the UK. The main thing to bear in mind is that our tour operator's licence doesn't allow us to book flights that originate outside the UK, and nor are we able to book rail travel in the UK, so we can't make travel arrangements for you, other than pre-arranging taxis between the local railway station and the accommodation – see the ‘prices & travel’ section for the options available.

    For practical information about travelling to the UK, see the 'what do I need to know about travelling to England, Scotland and Wales?' question.
  • Since our holidays are self-guided, we recommend calling us for a chat about your plans before making a booking, especially if it’s the first time you’ve booked with us.
    The price panel shows the supplement for a single room and also the single traveller charge (this covers (luggage) transfers and other costs which are usually shared between two people).
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can incur a five or six-figure bill.

    Many insurers offer travel insurance (you can find details on our insurance page of a policy that you may like to consider if you are a UK resident), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    When you purchase a policy, be sure to check that it covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs.
  • You are the best judge of your child’s/children’s capabilities. We are happy to take bookings for families of older children/teenagers if they walk regularly, love the outdoors and are comfortable with the distances and ascent/descent involved. Please note that the bedrooms at most of the accommodation we use will normally only sleep a maximum of 3 people, and sometimes only 2.
  • Unfortunately not. The Inntravel team includes many dog owners, but the extra considerations – such as whether taxi firms accept dogs for transfers to the start of walks, whether routes cross private land on which dogs are not allowed, and proximity to a vet’s – would add another layer of complexity to what are already quite complex holidays.
  • As a minimum, you will need a passport to enter the UK; requirements vary according to your nationality. It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. You’ll need to check requirements on the website of your own country’s government or that of the British government. Our essential travel information page provides links to websites where you can find out about the applicable requirements, along with general official travel advice.
     
    English is the most widely spoken of several official languages; in Wales, for example, Welsh has equal status. The currency is the British pound (Scotland issues its own bank notes, but Bank of England notes can be used in Scotland and vice versa). The UK follows Greenwich Mean Time during autumn and winter, but switches to British Summer Time (GMT + 1) from late March until late October.
