Routes: Some of Norfolk's finest cycling is available from our centre at the very heart of the imposing Holkham Hall... where, as well as the stately home, the many attractions include a pottery shop, bygones museum, and a tearoom (and walks for those who don't want to cycle). Scroll down this page for examples of the many routes.
Holkham Hall and Deer Park. A leisurely explore of the extensive parkland that surrounds Holkham Hall. But beware... you could be joined by herds of deer! This traffic-calmed circular route of around 5 miles can be extended by up to 3 miles to take in Lady Anne's Drive, a bird hide on the marshes, and part of a former railway line.
Wells-next-the-Sea. An out-and-back ride that visits the ancient port of Wells-next-the-Sea, with its bustling quayside and colourful shops. Plenty of places to eat and be merry too! A largely traffic-calmed ride of around 7 miles but with a short road section in Wells itself.
Creaking Cycle. Hopefully not a sound you will hear from our cycles... but a pleasant quiet lanes trip to the ruins of Creake Abbey and the neighbouring artists' studios (and café). This 8-mile ride is largely circular.
Discover Lord Nelson. Find out more about Norfolk's most famous seafarer, who was born in nearby Burnham Thorpe where his father was the vicar. This ride of around 6 miles is virtually all off-road... it does involve a couple of rougher tracks, although there is a quiet lanes option. And you can toast the man himself over a drink in the Lord Nelson pub! This ride can be extended to visit bustling Burnham Market, known as the Chelsea of Norfolk.
One-in-Three. No it's not an impossibly steep hill but a route with options to visit one, two, or three iconic destinations... East Anglia's finest Iron Age fort at Warham (great for a picnic, or the nearby pub), the world-renowned pilgrimage town of Little Walsingham (with its preserved Georgian courtroom, and a narrow gauge railway), and the ancient Binham Priory (and an excellent ale house!). Although longer rides, ranging from 12 to 18 miles, these are mostly easy riding on quiet lanes.
