Walking & cycling on the beautiful north Norfolk coast, including farm walks around Deepdale Farm, Norfolk Coast Footpath, National Cycle Routes & other cycle routes

The countryside and coastline around Deepdale offer wonderful opportunities for walking and cycling.  There are walking routes for long distance hikers and ramblers, for more relaxed walkers or even if you enjoy a bit of Australian tramping.

We can't offer mountains or hard core mountain bike routes, but Norfolk isn't the flat pancake it's often described as, meaning there is something for most walkers & cyclists, especially distance paths and touring cycling.

Deepdale Bike Hire will be opening on 31st March 2012 - more information will be posted soon.

On Deepdale Farm, we have had temporary stewardship walks, but one has now ended and the other will end soon.  However to replace these, we are looking to create a circular temporary walk, which will be invitation only.  Watch this space and we'll let you know more information soon.

The Norfolk Coast Path passes the door of Deepdale Farm heading both East and West along the coast, linking Burnham Deepdale to Hunstanton, Wells-next-the-Sea, Blakeney, Sheringham and Cromer.  For more information visit the Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path website - www.nationaltrail.co.uk/peddarsway

The CoastHopper bus service runs from Hunstanton to Sheringham, and often to King's Lynn and Cromer too (Every 1/2 hour in the Summer and every hour in the Winter).  It stops at nearly every village along the north Norfolk coast, so is a superb service for those wishing to walk the Norfolk Coast Path.  In fact you can stay at Deepdale for the whole of your stay and just hop on and off the bus to start or finish your walking wherever you like.  More information can be found on the Coasthopper website - www.coasthopper.co.uk

There are many other fabulous walks in the local area, including a circular walk around Barrow Common and Brancaster.  More information on these walks can be found on the Brancaster Staithe & Burnham Deepdale website - www.burnhamdeepdale.co.uk

The Hull to Harwich National Cycle Route No1 passes a few miles inland, which takes you West to Hunstanton and King's Lynn and East to Wells-next-the-Sea, Fakenham and Norwich.  Route 1 links with Local Route 30, which runs from Wells-next-the-Sea around the northern and eastern coast of Norfolk.  For more information on the National Cycle Routes in the Deepdale area visit: www.sustrans.co.uk
