TF9643 : Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path
taken 8 years ago, near to Stiffkey, Norfolk, England

A vast open expanse of salt marshes with twisting creeks and muddy basins that is subject to daily tidal flooding.
The salt marshes create a perfect habitat for a wide range of birdlife, mainly waders and wintering wildfowl and an array of unusual plant life.
The Norfolk Coast path passes along the perimeter of the salt marshes either towards Morston and Blakeney or on to Wells-Next-The-Sea offering an amazing walk with breathtaking views and sightings of birds.
The Peddars Way is a long distance footpath in Norfolk. It is 46 miles long and follows the route of a Roman road. It has been suggested by more than one writer that it was not created by the Romans but was an ancient trackway, a branch or extension of the Icknield Way, used and remodelled by the Romans. The name is said to be derived from the Latin pedester – on foot. It starts at Knettishall Heath in Suffolk (near the Norfolk-Suffolk border, about 4 miles east of Thetford), and it links with the Norfolk Coast Path at Holme-next-the-Sea.
Combined with the Norfolk Coast Path, it forms the Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path National Trail, one of 15 National Trails in England and Wales, and the two paths together run for 97 miles.
