Way – Rare wildlife, rich history and heavenly hiking","intro":"The Hereward Way is a wonderfully-diverse long-distance trail that is packed with history, beauty, intrigue and opportunities to spot rare wildlife. The county-hopping hike steps into Rutland, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk on its journey through the east of England. \r\n\r\nStarting from Oakham, the trail heads east through Stamford, Peterborough, March, Ely, Brandon and Thetford Forest. It links two other long-distance footpaths: the Viking Way in the west and Peddars Way in the east (links below). The official route is 110 miles (177 km). However, with a few worthy detours, this Collection totals 116 miles (187 km). \r\n\r\nThe trail is named after Hereward the Wake, the 11th-century leader who fought against William the Conqueror. It is said that Hereward and his men, who were based on the Isle of Ely, held strong for more than eight years before the Conqueror finally forged a way through the marshes.\r\n\r\nHighlights along the Way are plentiful. They include: Rutland Water, the largest man made lake in England; Longthorpe Tower, which houses one of the most important sets of 14th-century domestic wall paintings; Peterborough Cathedral, a striking 12th-century place of worship; Ouse Washes, an internationally-important wetland habitat; Ely Cathedral, which boasts monumental size Romanesque design; Lakenheath Fen, a reedbed habitat for rare birds; East Wretham Heath, home to many scarce species; and the spectacular ruins of St Andrew's Church in Roudham.\r\n\r\nIn this Collection, I have divided the route into eight stages of between 11-19 miles (18-31 km). Each Tour finishes close to accommodation and somewhere for food and drink, with the exception of stage 6, where I have given travel instructions. However, places to stay are not always abundant so be sure to plan ahead and book in advance. \r\n\r\nOf course, you can divide the Collection into as many days as you are comfortable with. It is also possible to walk individual stages. Public transport can be sparse in some areas but the majority of the trail is relatively well-served. \r\n\r\nAs the Hereward Way explores the east of England, known as the ‘flat lands’, there is little in the way of elevation on the route. As such, it is leisurely throughout and suitable for all abilities. It follows well-maintained paths, trails and country lanes. \r\n\r\nFor the most part, you are never too far away from civilisation. However, the trail gets very remote at times as you head east. As such, ensure you have enough water and snacks to keep you sustained. Sturdy footwear and waterproofs are essential. Be sure to pack sunscreen in the summer months.\r\n\r\nYou can hike this route at any time of year and each season offers a unique perspective on the scenery. The standard way to walk the route is as shown here. There is nothing stopping you hiking it the other direction, though.\r\n\r\nAs the trail starts and finishes at railway stations, Oakham and Harling Road respectively, it is easy to reach via public transport.\r\n\r\nTo see a Collection on the Viking Way, click here: https://www.komoot.com/collection/1253289.\r\nTo see a Collection on the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path, click here: https://www.komoot.com/collection/991.","type":"collection_editorial","status":"public","sport":"hike","tags":["historic","self-supported","long-distance","lakes","breathtaking-views","winter","autumn","summer","spring","publictransport","official"],"multi_day":true,"creator_no_subscription":false,"intro_plain":"The Hereward Way is a wonderfully-diverse long-distance trail that is packed with history, beauty, intrigue and opportunities to spot rare wildlife.

They include: Rutland Water, the largest man made lake in England; Longthorpe Tower, which houses one of the most important sets of 14th-century domestic wall paintings; Peterborough Cathedral, a striking 12th-century place of worship; Ouse Washes, an internationally-important wetland habitat; Ely Cathedral, which boasts monumental size Romanesque design; Lakenheath Fen, a reedbed habitat for rare birds; East Wretham Heath, home to many scarce species; and the spectacular ruins of St Andrew's Church in Roudham.\r\n\r\nIn this Collection, I have divided the route into eight stages of between 11-19 miles (18-31 km). Each Tour finishes close to accommodation and somewhere for food and drink, with the exception of stage 6, where I have given travel instructions. However, places to stay are not always abundant so be sure to plan ahead and book in advance. \r\n\r\nOf course, you can divide the Collection into as many days as you are comfortable with. It is also possible to walk individual stages. Public transport can be sparse in some areas but the majority of the trail is relatively well-served. \r\n\r\nAs the Hereward Way explores the east of England, known as the ‘flat lands’, there is little in the way of elevation on the route. As such, it is leisurely throughout and suitable for all abilities. It follows well-maintained paths, trails and country lanes. \r\n\r\nFor the most part, you are never too far away from civilisation. However, the trail gets very remote at times as you head east. As such, ensure you have enough water and snacks to keep you sustained. Sturdy footwear and waterproofs are essential. Be sure to pack sunscreen in the summer months.\r\n\r\nYou can hike this route at any time of year and each season offers a unique perspective on the scenery. The standard way to walk the route is as shown here. There is nothing stopping you hiking it the other direction, though.\r\n\r\nAs the trail starts and finishes at railway stations, Oakham and Harling Road respectively, it is easy to reach via public transport.\r\n\r\nTo see a Collection on the Viking Way, click here: https://www.komoot.com/collection/1253289.\r\nTo see a Collection on the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path, click here:

Way – Rare wildlife, rich history and heavenly hiking","intro":"The Hereward Way is a wonderfully-diverse long-distance trail that is packed with history, beauty, intrigue and opportunities to spot rare wildlife. The county-hopping hike steps into Rutland, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk on its journey through the east of England. \r\n\r\nStarting from Oakham, the trail heads east through Stamford, Peterborough, March, Ely, Brandon and Thetford Forest. It links two other long-distance footpaths: the Viking Way in the west and Peddars Way in the east (links below). The official route is 110 miles (177 km). However, with a few worthy detours, this Collection totals 116 miles (187 km). \r\n\r\nThe trail is named after Hereward the Wake, the 11th-century leader who fought against William the Conqueror. It is said that Hereward and his men, who were based on the Isle of Ely, held strong for more than eight years before the Conqueror finally forged a way through the marshes.\r\n\r\nHighlights along the Way are plentiful. They include: Rutland Water, the largest man made lake in England; Longthorpe Tower, which houses one of the most important sets of 14th-century domestic wall paintings; Peterborough Cathedral, a striking 12th-century place of worship; Ouse Washes, an internationally-important wetland habitat; Ely Cathedral, which boasts monumental size Romanesque design; Lakenheath Fen, a reedbed habitat for rare birds; East Wretham Heath, home to many scarce species; and the spectacular ruins of St Andrew's Church in Roudham.\r\n\r\nIn this Collection, I have divided the route into eight stages of between 11-19 miles (18-31 km). Each Tour finishes close to accommodation and somewhere for food and drink, with the exception of stage 6, where I have given travel instructions. However, places to stay are not always abundant so be sure to plan ahead and book in advance. \r\n\r\nOf course, you can divide the Collection into as many days as you are comfortable with. It is also possible to walk individual stages. Public transport can be sparse in some areas but the majority of the trail is relatively well-served. \r\n\r\nAs the Hereward Way explores the east of England, known as the ‘flat lands’, there is little in the way of elevation on the route. As such, it is leisurely throughout and suitable for all abilities. It follows well-maintained paths, trails and country lanes. \r\n\r\nFor the most part, you are never too far away from civilisation. However, the trail gets very remote at times as you head east. As such, ensure you have enough water and snacks to keep you sustained. Sturdy footwear and waterproofs are essential. Be sure to pack sunscreen in the summer months.\r\n\r\nYou can hike this route at any time of year and each season offers a unique perspective on the scenery. The standard way to walk the route is as shown here. There is nothing stopping you hiking it the other direction, though.\r\n\r\nAs the trail starts and finishes at railway stations, Oakham and Harling Road respectively, it is easy to reach via public transport.\r\n\r\nTo see a Collection on the Viking Way, click here: https://www.komoot.com/collection/1253289.\r\nTo see a Collection on the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path, click here: https://www.komoot.com/collection/991.","type":"collection_editorial","status":"public","sport":"hike","tags":["historic","self-supported","long-distance","lakes","breathtaking-views","winter","autumn","summer","spring","publictransport","official"],"multi_day":true,"creator_no_subscription":false,"intro_plain":"The Hereward Way is a wonderfully-diverse long-distance trail that is packed with history, beauty, intrigue and opportunities to spot rare wildlife.
