Heacham Beach and 1950s Blues Brothers Pub

Highlight • Pub

Most tourer's will go to Hunstanton as it's the official end/start of the Peddars way, however if you're heading south instead Heacham is a nice beach to stop at and has some interesting features such as an old arcade and casino and an odd little pub with an obsession with the 1950's and blues brothers!

Strictly it’s a footpath but it seems to be used frequently by cyclists. Early morning it was really empty.

Hunstanton Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

At low tide, pick through barnacle-encrusted mussels, seek out the plentiful razor clams or just lean up against the concrete groynes and watch the spectacular sunset. It's one of the few places on the east coast where this is possible.

Hunstanton Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hunstanton Beach is a very good starting point to many West Norfolk rides. As soon as you leave the coast, there are many slopes with interesting gradients. Many hills in the surrounding are waiting for fearless riders!

Sea Wall and Groynes at Sandbanks

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

On a good day this stretch gives good views over the coast and its sandbanks and sea defences. There is an interesting assortment of seaside cottages on the land side. We watched kite surfers flashing about on the waves which was impressive. You may also see (and hear!) the amphibious vehicles that give rides out to the sandbanks.
