Help please.
I am planning to spend this summer at home, not going abroad. I would like to spend a week cycling in Norfolk area, preferably from farm house (B and B) to farm house. I like to ride on the road in my trusted Triban. I have looked at various websites but it is difficult make up a circular route. I live in Northampton, would like to drive for 1-2 hours, leave my car and take a circular tour, come back and collect the car at the end.
I may even consider doing that for long Easter weekend if I can find a good route to cover about 150 miles in 3 days.
Could you please suggest me a scenic route, with windmills etc on quite roads.
Perhaps some may even like to join me!

If you are riding in Norfolk, the Coast route is the best bit, but in 150 miles you could include the Broads as well. Route 1 out from King's Lynn, and route 30 that make up the coast route are well marked and easy to follow, but take a map if you are using the back roads to make up a circular route.

Riding through the Holkham hall grounds is something I reccommend to anybody cycling in Norfolk:

There is the sustrans route 1 cycleroute. The Marriotts Way is lovely, some tarmac some packed earth but perfectly fine for a roadie, I cycle it often on my Defy. It goes from Norwich to Aylsham Tesco. Don't lock your bike there unless there are 2 of you, one to shop, one to stay with the bikes. Local Tesco don't have the best rep for bikes being unmolested while shoppers shop.

You've also got Wells next the Sea handy for possibly the best fish 'n' chips in England, French's on the Quayside:hungry:
