Walking The Norfolk Coastal Path

Sea Palling is our closest point on the coastal path. We have many guests stop over for a night having walked from Cromer to Sea Palling (18 miles) or for those who want a shorter day start at Mundesley and Sea Palling is 11 miles.

There are cafes along the path, at Cart Gap you can stop at the nice Small Sticks Cafe for tea and cake just off the beach or a little further along at Walcott there is a cafe and fish and chip shop. Most of the year there is also a traditional ice cream van by the beach. The final stop on the path is Sea Palling. This is a seaside town in miniature. A small fishing village with Beach Rock Bistro and Mermaids Catch Fish and Chips along with the Lifeboat Tavern behind the dunes and a small amusement arcade and cafe that does the best seaside donuts.

We have a grass track that runs from the edge of Sea Palling to the farm, or if your legs have walked far enough we recommend you contact our local taxi firm Stripes Express who will happily drop you at Dairy Barns.

If you would rather not carry your luggage along the path with you there is an option of having it collected and dropped off from where you are staying. A great small business called Hike Help offers this service along the Norfolk Coastal path. Once back at the Barns we have excellent power showers and super comfy beds for you to relax into after all your hard work, put the kettle on and enjoy some homemade cake and a cup of tea with fresh milk which are all provided in your room. If the weather has been unkind and you have wet footwear or clothes we are happy to dry them for you ready for the morning.

Along with walking the linear coastal path there are some really good circular routes in the area which take in both the coastal path and some beautiful countryside, the Norfolk Country council website has lots of routes and maps to follow.
