Bikepacking Bliss: Norfolk, The Long Way Round

On the east coast of England, around 100 miles north east of London, is the historic county of Norfolk.

Famous for its flat terrain and its stunning countryside, as well as its historic cities and seaside towns, it’s an ideal destination for hiking and bikepacking. And, with its miles of disused train lines now converted to walking and cycling paths, it’s a particularly appealing option for those wanting to stay off road and away from drivers.

Over a warm June weekend, me and two friends met up the historic city of Norwich to take on our own bikepacking adventure – cycling 100km long way round to Great Yarmouth on the coast, taking in beautiful sights and sounds along the way… Come along for the ride!
