Stalham to Potter Heigham to Winterton to Caister. From Potter Heigham this then transitioned to riverbank for quite a way towards the coast and then again some quieter lanes and footpath to join where route 1 is at Winterton. There are facilities for breaks along the way in Stalham, Hickling, Potter Heigham, Winterton and a few places just off the path as well as Caister. There are public transport links between these places - perhaps easiest Stalham to Potter and Winterton and Caister. I also think that a third version of the route could take the south direction out of Stalham like this route and then skirt to the north of Hickling broad on lanes and then pitch across to Sea Palling and then be the same as route 1....

The route includes a mixture of public footpaths, fields and walking on/beside the road (both quiet country roads and busier main roads). Several points in Acle required crossing a busy main road, including crossing over at Acle bridge....

There are a couple of places to stop and eat in Sea Palling, Winterton or Scratby if you need to break up the walk, but once you're at the coast the walk mostly follows the same route as the Norfolk costal path over the dunes....

This route contains a long stretch (over 2 miles) on a relatively busy road between Ingham and Sea Palling. We looked at alternatives and it's difficult as there are many water ways and broads which makes getting a route harder. Also to note that at certain parts of the coast there is erosion which might make it difficult to follow the exact route but as said before following the beach line will work as long as not too high a tide or just further back into the dunes....

There was a fair amount of rubbish thay could be seen during my walk, more so on the path than the beach and mostly glass bottles on the path....

Michael Winterburn

It's a sandy/ grassy/ dune as said below but mostly flat and also agree its a much quieter alternative to walk along the beach. I took my shoes off and walked barefoot by the seashore for some it, which was joyful. The number 8 bus from Caister to Great Yarmouth is quite frequent....

It's quieter to walk the route fully on the beach, but that's less accessible and there's decent public transport (bus) between start and end points if you're only walking one way....

Alex Bennett

Coming from Caister > Acle direction, there was a footbridge over the dual carriage way with a number of steps on either side, as well as then walking off road on fields (through well marked paths), but 1 or 2 gates....

A pleasant walk that is mostly along seaside promenades from Great Yarmouth up until the holiday park between Great Yarmouth and Caister, where the pavement ends and the path goes onto the back of the dunes, before then turning inland past the Lifeboat station. (this section prior to turning in is the most difficult part, and, as another review has mentioned, could probably be avoided by turning into the large car park first, prior to the lifeboat station. (only reason for 4* and not 5*)...

This is just after Acle bridge if walking towards Caister where it's on the A1064 with a wide verge ( if you cross over on top of the bridge) but it doesn't stop it being a little unsettling as people drive past at the limit. That could be avoided if took the path along the road to Acle Bridge....

Truffle

The route could also be walked mostly on the beach proper even at high tide from Caister to Britannia pier in Great Yarmouth. The slight deviation at great Yarmouth takes you onto the path between the beach and the waterways away from the road....

Truffle

One short section on busy A1064 which is unavoidable....

Beautiful easy walk along country paths with only a few hundred yards near Acle Bridge along very busy road where caution needs to be exercised. Great views over the marshes....
