More about Norfolk Trails

The Norfolk Trails are a promoted network of walking, cycling and horse-riding routes. They provide 1400 miles of long distance linear and shorter circular paths, across all seven districts of Norfolk. Some of our flagship trails include Marriott’s Way, Kett’s Country Trail, Weaver’s Way and the Boudicca Way.

They are about more than just lines on a map. Our trails provide opportunities for people to get out and about in nature and connect with the world around them. They offer a moment of peace in busy modern lives, the opportunity to leave the car behind and a chance for a free adventure (small or large) with family and friends. Our routes provide traffic-free connections between rural towns and villages and hold an increasingly important role in supporting nature recovery and tackling the impacts of climate change.
