The Norfolk Coast Path is a wonderfully scenic National Trail, whilst also being low-level and therefore perfectly accessible to those embarking on their first long-distance run. This Short Break tour was put together to help ease new runners into the challenge, but is also ideal for runners in need of a weekend getaway.
The Norfolk Coast Path Short Running Break starts in the town of Hunstanton and passes along Norfolk’s Heritage Coast to Cromer. The path encounters cliffs, sand dunes, creeks and golden beaches, following the sea the whole way. There are many settlements to explore along the trail, including seaports, fishing villages and seaside resorts, each boasting their own interesting history and welcoming charm. Wildlife flourishes along the Norfolk coastline; in particular, grey seals can often be seen around Blakeney Point, a National Nature Reserve dedicated to their conservation.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
