I can recommend a verge next to a Caister on sea dual carriageway for a year-round bivi.Any recommendations for cheap accommodation along the way very gratefully received. Look forward to hearing from you!
Here you are:Sounds great, I know the Cromer area fairly well, it'd be an ideal overnight stop I reckon.
Thanks so much for this, it's really helpful. I've walked part of the Icknield Way (Linton to Gt Chesterford) but never tried cycling it. Will check out the other routes. Fantastic info, really appreciate it.The obvious off-road routes are the regional and national trails, which includes the Icknield Way and the Peddars Way near me. There's a map of Peddars Way with accommodation finder on https://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/trails/peddars-way-and-norfolk-coast-path/trail-information/ and Ickneild Way Trust have a more basic website at http://www.icknieldwaytrail.org.uk/
You could start with the Ickneild Way and Peddars Way, then link the north end of Peddars Way all the way back around via Ness Point by the Norfolk Coast Cycleway (NCN1 / RR30) and Two Rivers Route (RR30) which are mostly tarmac but fairly pretty (apart from central Lowestoft!) and then return towards Cambridge by another route, maybe NCN13 and 51?
Edit to add: or you could return from Peddars Way along the North Sea Coast Route NCN1 and then see how much of the Fen Rivers Way is cycleable - I know parts are, but I've not checked the footpath/bridleway/byway split.
No worries. Parts of IW and PW are not cycleable (legally*) so there are diversions on the maps. I think the IW ones may be signed too.Thanks so much for this, it's really helpful.

Thanks for this, really appreciated. I've heard a lot about the Orford Ness area but have never been there. Will try to find out more about the Five Ferries too.Besides the Peddars Way and Marriots Way paths, most of the off roading in Norfolk and Suffolk is along small sections of bridle path. There are hundreds of miles of small country lanes thst are not on designated bike routes.
One fun route is the Five Ferries route along and across the Suffolk coast around Orford.
You have reminded me that Marriott's Way connects to Weaver's Way in Aylsham and is mostly off road to Stalham. I have no idea of its surface quality but it is legal to cycle.Besides the Peddars Way and Marriots Way paths,
