Overview

Stage 3 of 3 - Castle Rising to King's Lynn linear walk. Early Start. Bring Bus Pass.

Platinum Jubilee Trail 2022

An ever-changing landscape of coast and countryside, the Elizabeth Way follows parts of the former railway line from Hunstanton to King’s Lynn, taking you through one of the most picturesque parts of Norfolk.

Seals, gulls, and gannets can be spotted along the shore while the heaths, hedgerows, woods, and wetlands play host to a range of creatures large and small, from butterflies to buzzards, badgers to bats, beavers to bank voles.

The aptly named Elizabeth Way is also a walk rich in regal history, leading you through pine plantations to Sandringham Park, the Christmas residence of the Royal Family and, finally, on to Castle Rising. The route finishes at The Walks – a historic park, which is the only surviving 18th century town walk in Norfolk.
