Tom's a super helpful bike mechanic, with a large selection of spares to get you out of any sticky situations.

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.

The Bure Valley Railway is a heritage railway offering a nostalgic trip by steam on Norfolk’s longest narrow gauge railway, between the historic market town of Aylsham and bustling town of Wroxham, at the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The Whistlestop Café on the station is open to visitors who aren't planning a train ride. The one-way journey to Wroxham takes about 45 minutes.

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.

The River Bure is a navigable river which flows into Breydon Water in Great Yarmouth. Coltishall bridge about 10 miles inland is the head of navigation, the furthest larger boats can get.

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.

Fantastic country roads leading to the coast with a fantastic lighthouse on the cliffs

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

Good place to stop for a coffee and to refuel! Toilets here as well.

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.

The Rising Sun is a lovely riverside pub in Coltishall, which does excellent food, including wood fired Neapolitan pizzas. It also offers bed and breakfast accommodation, offering a pleasant basecamp from which to explore the wider Broads.

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.

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.

The Bure Valley Railway is a heritage railway offering a nostalgic trip by steam on Norfolk’s longest narrow gauge railway, between the historic market town of Aylsham and bustling town of Wroxham, at the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The Whistlestop Cafe on the station is open to visitors who aren't planning a train ride. The one-way journey to Wroxham takes about 45 minutes if you're thinking of including this on your tour - and you'll need a return ticket as they are currently unable to take bikes on board (Sep '22).

Worth a visit inside as more like a cathedral than a church

Cute place to stop for refreshments. Inside, outside and even a little covered courtyard where they let us bring our bikes in. Nice vibe

Coltishall Village Green is a beautiful green space situated on the River Bure in Norfolk. The relatively large space is a brilliant spot too while away time whilst perhaps enjoying a picnic or reading a good book in the warmer summer months. The river is a very popular spot for broads cruisers and inflatable canoes, kayaks and SUP's and if you fancy taking to the water yourselves all are available to hire via The Canoe Man website, www.thecanoeman.com The Rising Sun and Kings Head pubs are situated on the river at one end of the green to and serve good coffee if you happen to be an earlier visiter. This little gem should definitely be on your cycle or hiking route if you are visiting this part of Norfolk!

A fantastic route following the path of a disused railway line. Some of the old station platforms are still remain.
