For views from the saddle

King's Lynn to Cromer, Norfolk; Regional Route 30; 60 miles

This newly created cycleway on the West Norfolk coastline winds past a mixture of rolling sand dunes, reed beds and crystal-clear horizons. You'll pass the medieval ruins at Castle Rising, the Queen's Norfolk residence at Sandringham and arrive at Ringstead - the perfect place to stop for a meal and overnight stay at The Gin Trap Inn. The next day, pass country churches and Holkham Park on the way to Cromer (norfolkcoastaonb.org.uk; visitnorfolk.co.uk).
