22 paths and 7 rivers
The slow, satisfying accumulation of a life spent exploring.
Not racing. Not competing. Just going everywhere, eventually.
Where to start
Start with one of Norfolk and Suffolk's 22 paths and 7 rivers, or a whole set. Every outing counts, wherever you go.
The whole coast of Norfolk and Suffolk on foot, about 360 km: round the Wash from Sutton Bridge, the Norfolk Coast Path to Hopton-on-Sea, the England Coast Path to Lowestoft, the Suffolk Coast Path to Felixstowe and the Stour and Orwell Walk to Cattawade.
The navigable rivers of the Norfolk Broads: the Waveney, Bure, Ant, Thurne, Yare, Wensum and Chet, each from the limit of navigation to its end, cruised or paddled.
The Broads rivers as a paddler can reach them: every navigable river, plus the upper Waveney from Bungay, the upper Bure from Aylsham or Buxton Mill and the Wensum from New Mills.
The National Trail: the Roman road from Knettishall Heath to the sea at Holme, then the coast from Hunstanton to Hopton-on-Sea, about 210 km in all.
Norfolk's whole coastline on foot, about 190 km: round the Wash from Sutton Bridge to Hunstanton, then the Norfolk Coast Path to Hopton-on-Sea.
Three long walks through the Broads, about 305 km in all: Wherryman's Way beside the Yare, Weavers' Way from Cromer and the Angles Way up the Waveney.
Across Norfolk from King's Lynn to Great Yarmouth, about 170 km, by four linked trails: the Nar Valley Way, Wensum Way, Marriott's Way and Wherryman's Way.

Four walks through inland Suffolk, about 215 km in all: the St Edmund Way, the Mid Suffolk Footpath and the Gipping and Lark valley paths.
Every village sign in Norfolk: the carved and painted signs at the edge of its towns and villages, each telling a piece of the place's story.
Every village sign in Suffolk: the carved and painted signs at the edge of its towns and villages, each telling a piece of the place's story.
Every church in Norfolk: most of England's round-tower churches, thatched roofs, Norwich Cathedral's spire and cloisters, Salle's great tower, Cley above the Glaven valley, Knapton's angel roof, Ranworth's painted screen and the shrines of Walsingham, with chapels and ruins along the way.
