Norfolk AA 50 Walks - Walking is one of Britain's favourite leisure activities, and with "50 Walks in Norfolk" you can find a variety of mapped walks to suit all abilities - from the casual walker to the experienced hiker. The book features all the practical detail you need, accompanied by fascinating background reading on the history and wildlife of the area, as well as other local points of interest.

Each walk also has refreshment information: 'Where to Eat and Drink', including tea rooms and pubs, with extra details on their character and the food on offer. A 'What to Look For' panel features more specific details of urban and industrial heritage, flora and fauna.

Norfolk Walks Pathfinder Guide, John Brooks - As in all titles in the series, each walk is accompanied by colour mapping and clear directions, with full-colour photographs throughout. The 28 walks are graded according to length and accompanied by extensive information and advice for walkers. Norfolk has a not wholly justified reputation for being flat. The flat fenland in the far west of the county is, however, a distinct region, shared with other counties and being drained by a complicated system of rivers, dykes and sluices. A similar landscape can be seen in the east of the county where the rivers Bure and Yare, but the rest of the county offers scenery aptly described by Ronald Blythe as carrying undulation to the most subtle limits. The north Norfolk coast is an area of outstanding natural beauty, providing outstanding walking along cliffs and beaches, with excellent opportunities for observing the abundant coastal wildlife. To the east, the Norfolk Broads is a unique area of lakes along rivers meandering towards the sea. They not only provide recreation but also have a special flora and fauna. Norfolk's legacy of medieval country churches centre on the numerous villages, many of which are of special historic interest. Several country estates also allow access to their extensive parkland, providing another type of walking. Thetford Forest, which covers much of the south-west of the county, also provides a deal of excellent walking unlike that in the rest of the county. Published March 01.

Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path,
Bruce and Mike Robinson - The
Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path together form the 93-mile (149-km)
National Trail that starts near Knettishall in the Brecklands on the
Norfolk-Suffolk border and runs north-west to meet the shores of the Wash
near Hunstanton before turning east to follow the beautiful North Norfolk
coastline to Cromer. The first part of the route, The Peddars Way, follows
the route of a Roman road, running arrow-straight along the chalk ridge of
north-west Norfolk; the Norfolk Coast Path, in contrast, follows the seawall
along the beaches and around the muddy creeks that form a coastline that is
home to some of the most famous and spectacular nature reserves in the
country. This is the complete, official guide to the entire route for both
the long-distance walker and the weekend stroller. It is the official
guidebook, published in association with Natural England. It gives a
complete description of the route divided into eight chapters, each covering
one day's walk. It features 1:25000 Ordnance Survey mapping marked with
points of interest along the route. Published March 09.
