46 miles. 8 - 12 miles per day. Minimal ascent on most days, with 700 feet of ascent on the final day.

Day 1: Arrival day.

Day 2: Hunstanton to Brancaster - Starting at Hunstanton, our route takes us to Holme Dunes, where the Wash meets the North Sea. The Dunes are renowned for rare birds and flowers. From Thornham our route heads inland before approaching the quaint streets of Brancaster. 10 miles.

Day 3: Brancaster to Wells next the Sea - Nelson country, a world of birds, creeks, and huge open skyscapes. The area oozes the maritime theme, from its association with the famous Horatio Nelson. Walking from Brancaster through Burnham Deepdale, we follow the wide sweep of sea bank to the marvellous vistas of Holkham Bay, the largest nature reserve in England and Wales. Our walk finishes today in Wells next the Sea. 12 miles.

Day 4: Wells next the Sea to Blakeney - Salt marsh landscape dominates as we walk along paths of springy turf. Flint villages greet us as we continue alongside Agar Creek to the cobbled cottages of Blakeney. 8 miles.

Day 5: Blakeney to Weybourne - Stunning views and a sense of solitude. Cley next the Sea and its distinctive windmill come into view, before the shingle of Weybourne Hope and the flint houses and old-world aura of the village of Weybourne itself. 8 miles.

Day 6: Weybourne to Cromer - Our final walk begins with an energising cliff walk. Our coastal walking ends at Beeston Hill on the outskirts of Sheringham where we head inland towards 13th century St Mary in the Meadow priory. Woodland walking now before we celebrate our journey’s end with sparkling seas, and the famous Edwardian pier at Cromer. 8 miles with 700 feet of ascent
