Marriott's Way

Highlight • Cycleway

Running 24.6 miles (39.5 km) from Norwich to Aylsham, the Marriott's Way is a great traffic-free path open to walkers, cyclists and horse riders. It follows the route of the railway which ran here until 1985. The path is made up of different surfaces so expect mud if it's been raining.

Zigzag Path with Red and White Railings

Highlight • Cycleway

It's a nice feature to test your handle bars cycling up to the road. :) However, once up on the road, do not get confused by the Marriott Way sign across the road pointing leftward, as you need to turn right and left onto Station Road and descend down quite a chunky gravel descent (possibly due to construction work).

View of Orange Fields

Highlight • Viewpoint

My poor photo quality doesn't really show the radiance of the orange. Does anyone know what they are growing?

Hellesdon — former railway station

Highlight • Structure

On the former Midland and Great Northern Railway, Hellesdon was once a bustling station. A rural line, it was part of the railway mania that swept the national, causing ranch lines to crop up all over the place.

The line was closed in the 1980s and now serves as part of the Marriotts Way cycle and footpath. The trail is named after William Marriott, the manager of the line for over 40 years.
