Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Knettishall Heath nature reserve covers about 430 acres (174 hectares) and also includes woodland and riverside meadows, as well as large areas of heath.

In season, there is a visitor welcome and cafe van in the car park every Wed-Sun plus bank holidays 10am-4pm.

If you go early in the morning, you're likely to find the ponies grazing much closer to the road.

Peddars Way Trail

Highlight • Trail

This is the start of the Peddars Way, a 46 mile (74 km) long distance hiking and cycling trail from near Thetford close to the Norfolk/Suffolk border, to the North Norfolk coast at Hunstanton.

Mostly following ancient Roman routes, the trail has the characteristic straight trajectory that’s associated with this era.

The Peddars Way is for you if you love wildlife, history and the great British Countryside, which it has all three in spades. Explore ancient castles and ruins, look out for wildlife among glacial wetlands and coastal marshes and enjoy the expansive arable landscape that’s so typical of this county.

Start of the Peddars Way

Highlight • Trail

This is the start of the Peddars Way. The iconic trail follows a Roman road that was built along the line of an even older trackway. Combined with the Norfolk Coast Path, it forms the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail, one of the 15 National Trails in England and Wales.

Highlight • Cycleway

As the name aptly suggests; it's all in the photos. Nothing more to add. I was on a 200km touring ride, not attempting a KOM or some such. A very pleasant surprise nonetheless to hv encountered it - had no previous knowledge of its existence - glad to hv found it by pure coincidence. Always brings a smile to face to see cycling 'non-business' related stuff. Just pure awareness, friendly 🚲 stuff. 🙂
