Great pit stop, mushroom soup amazing

Warm coffee off Marriott way.

Coltishall Station is one of the narrow gauge stations on the Bure Valley Railway line. It's also an access point for the nine mile (14.5 km) Bure Valley Path.

I've ridden Marriotts way many times, and it's a great route. However foolishly I didn't appreciate how muddy many parts of it get when it's been wet.

Medieval stone bridge open to cyclists and pedestrians, providing a handy crossing over the river that avoids the city traffic.

Impressive fortress that still dominates the centre of Norwich. Now a museum.

Marriott's Way is a 26-mile (42km) surfaced multi-user path which follows the routes of two disused railway lines, running between Aylsham and Norwich.

Pleasure to ride this mostly continuous path from Aylsham to Norwich (in dry conditions) through changing settings and off-road surfaces

It's a nice feature to test your handle bars cycling up to the road. :) However, once up on the road, do not get confused by the Marriott Way sign across the road pointing leftward, as you need to turn right and left onto Station Road and descend down quite a chunky gravel descent (possibly due to construction work).

One of the major stations and exits to towns along the Bure Valley path, with the paths along this stretch being compacted gravel

This was a lovely off road bike ride and ideal for families. Unfortunately, ruined by out of control dogs off leads, or if on a lead it is a long lead that is barely visible so is a trip hazard. Lots of dogs jump up at you and chase after livestock. I ride responsibly with regard for other users on this shared path but I will not be riding it again any time soon. It’s a shame as I have used it for many years but I’ve had enough of the large amount of dog walkers who use this trail.

There are two cycle paths, in it is better to take to the segregated into town on Newmarket Rd. in Winter there will be ice, and you fall off!!! (I did... twice)

Takes in the view of the ruins of St Martin's Church and the still working St Mary's Church just behind it.

Only the outer earthwork bank is visible from the road but still a very impressive feature.

Perfect spot for an iced coffee and piece of cake. Nice shaded seating areas.

As of 9th May 2023, parts of Marriotts Way north of Drayton are a total mudbath and only suitable for MTBs. The surface coming into Norwich is worn out and bumpy but at least dry.

My poor photo quality doesn't really show the radiance of the orange. Does anyone know what they are growing?

Open Wednesday to Sunday, this is a great stop for cyclists or walkers on the Marriott's Way.

Norwich Castle is undergoing major works to restore the floors to their original level of the 12th century so future visitors can truly appreciate what life in the castle was like when it was built. It is still possible to appreciate the royal Norman fortress from the outside.

Journeying between Aylsham and Norwich, Marriott's Way is a traffic free trail for hikers and cyclists. It follows the routes of two disused railway lines for 26 miles and passes through some glorious Norfolk countryside. Such as this just outside the city of Norwich.
