The Norfolk Coast Path (Hunstanton to Sea Palling)
England is surrounded by coast, so it makes sense that there are several coast paths that you can walk. You can just walk a section, or take an entire holiday and walk one over a few weeks.
You could book your own accommodation using sites like Snaptrip. For those watching the pennies, YHA hostels are set in lovely grounds with communal kitchens, and dorms or private rooms from £30 to £60 a night – some even have dog-friendly secure Landpods.
The Norfolk Coast Path offers tidal marshes, sandy beaches and big skies. Starting from the cliffs at Hunstanton, this waymarked route travels through this Natural Landscape.
The flat, soft paths make it an easier long walk. While Wells-next-the-Sea and Cromer add classic English charm. Birdwatchers flock to Blakeney Point and Cley Marshes, where grey seals and rare birds gather.
The Peddars Way starts at at Suffolk (near Thetford) and follows the route for 49 miles to Holme-next-the-Sea on the North Norfolk Coast.
Check tide times and avoid walking in bad light/weather). Follow the Countryside Code (don’t walk on sand dunes), and keep numbers on hand to report concerns for farm animals, wildlife or marine creatures.
Check for dog beach bans (avoid walks for 2 hours after long drives) and keep dogs away from cliffs, seaweed, palm oil (white waxy lumps), jellyfish and uncapped mine shafts.
Also keep dogs away from seals, coastal birds and coastal flowers (many are toxic). Read how to keep dogs safe at the seaside (and info on dog safety and hiking with dogs).
