The Elizabeth Way
Heacham to King's Lynn - A 15.8 mile dedicated trail linking Heacham to King's Lynn which incorporates elements of the existing footpath network.
An ever-changing landscape of coast and countryside, the Elizabeth Way follows parts of the former railway line from Hunstanton to King's Lynn, taking you through one of the most picturesque parts of Norfolk.
Seals, gulls, and gannets can be spotted along the shore while the heaths, hedgerows, woods, and wetlands play host to a range of creatures large and small, from butterflies to buzzards, badgers to bats, beavers to bank voles.
The aptly named Elizabeth Way is also a walk rich in regal history, leading you through pine plantations to Sandringham Park, the Christmas residence of the Royal Family and, finally, on to Castle Rising. The route finishes at The Walks - a historic park, which is the only surviving 18th century town walk in Norfolk.
Improving accessibility
The resurfaced footway between Ingoldisthorpe and Dersingham offers improved access.
The entire route is for walking only and follows a number of existing footpaths. Between Sandringham and King's Lynn, the route largely aligns with the Sustrans National Cycle Route 1, further information on this can be found on the Sustrans website.
We will continue working with our partners to improve accessibility on this route with the aim of linking in the current cycle network at Sandringham to Hunstanton, further information of our future plans can be found on the Active Travel page.
