Diss

While Norfolk is full of charming towns, we have to say Diss is particularly lovely. The many medieval and Georgian buildings today show it’s been a prosperous town for over a thousand years, and nowadays they are keen to welcome cycling visitors too.

Thetford

Thetford is an ideal base for exploring the huge area of Thetford Forest and The Brecks, and discovering prehistoric mines, tank memorials and a beautiful arboretum.

Swaffham

This pretty market town has a centre full of old Georgian houses and plenty of pubs, old coaching inns and coffee houses. The surrounding Breckland landscape is a wonderful area for easy riding both on road and off.

Hunstanton

Hunstanton is only small but it’s got a big heart that beats a bit faster than most places in sleepy Norfolk, and there are plenty of places to stay. Our routes around Hunstanton provide a varied road and gravel experience that makes the most of the super quiet, rolling countryside of north-west Norfolk.

Fakenham

Fakenham sits on a rise in the more rolling coastal landscape that typifies north Norfolk, so while you won’t climb over 85m above sea level at any point on these rides, there’s definitely more rise and fall than in areas like the Broads.

Cromer

With a fabulous Victorian pier and seafront architecture to match, Cromer is the perfect example of a traditional English seaside resort and thoroughly deserves its ‘Gem of the Norfolk coast’ tag. The surrounding area has a distinct historical and natural character, with a wealth of fascinating quirks to explore.

Wroxham & Hoveton

Known as the ‘capital of the Broads’, the villages of Wroxham and Hoveton have flourished as a boaters’ paradise. The lack of hills and some of the best weather in the UK mean it’s also a perfect base for restful riding around the unique wetland ecology and multi-faceted history.
