ESCAPE Paston Way

Join us for a guided trail run along the Paston Way. The route is 22 miles long and runs from North Walsham to Cromer on the Norfolk Coast.

The Paston Way takes it name from the Paston family, who during the Medieval and Tudor periods were the landowners of much of the land that we will be passing through. There is plenty of history to look at along the route, making it perfect for one of our guided trail runs.
