Cromer Cliff-Top and Ridge Loop

Two landscapes in one loop: the crumbling cliff-top edge of the North Norfolk coast, where the sea sits just beyond the fields, and the hedged farm lanes and low wooded rise of the Cromer Ridge behind it. The trees close in and the views open out by turns.

Expect a gently bending coast road, narrow twisting lanes that reward a steady pace and a little patience at the blind corners, and a quicker run over the ridge. It suits a bright morning, when the light is clean and the lanes are quiet.
