Paston Way (Cromer to North Walsham)

The 22-mile Paston Way passes through the Poppyland of north east Norfolk, taking in medieval churches, pretty villages, rolling farmland, disused railways and beach walks.

More to Explore

Paston Way links in with other Norfolk Trails, so why not explore the area further?

At Cromer join either the Norfolk Coast Path including England Coast Path (which heads west, all the way along the coast to Hunstanton) or Weavers' Way (Cromer to Great Yarmouth) (which meanders its way through to Great Yarmouth).

Weaver's Way also meets up with Paston Way again at North Walsham, creating a 45-mile loop.
