Book Description
The A-Z Adventure Series of maps combines the best of OS and A-Z, creating the perfect companion for walkers, off-road cyclists, horse riders and anyone wishing to explore the great outdoors.Together, the Norfolk Coast Path and Peddars Way form a 93 mile (150km) National Trail across west Norfolk and along its northern coast. Each path has its own distinctive characteristics - the directness of Peddars Way, following the course of a Roman Road, through forest, heath, open farmland and quiet river valleys contrasting with the small harbours, low cliffs, sand and saltmarsh found along the Norfolk Coast Path. Both share a rich landscape with fantastic scenery, wide open skies and an abundance of wildlife. The route on the map is clearly highlighted in yellow with mileage markers to gauge distances when planning sections of the walk to enjoy.This official National Trail Map* of Norfolk Coast Path and Peddars Way features 58 pages of continuous Ordnance Survey 1:25000 mapping, including the latest eastern extension to the Norfolk Coast Path and additional pages covering the proposed route from Hunstanton to the Lincolnshire boundary.
