Cycle routes

Cycling around the Bittern Track

The Cycling around the Bittern Track cycle leaflet illustrates a network of nine cycle routes centred around the Norwich to Sheringham railway.

The routes use a variety of quiet roads and lanes through the countryside and towns of Norfolk, from Norwich via the Broads to the North Norfolk Coast. The nine routes range from 6 to 30 miles and can be used individually or in combination, allowing you to choose a route and distance to suit you and, of course, the times of the trains.

The leaflet is available free on request when booking a cycle space on a local service. Call the Customer Services Centre (visit the Contact Us page for details) or make the booking in person at a staffed station.

The Bittern Line routes consist of linked linear and circular routes of varying lengths, starting and finishing at a station on the picturesque Norwich to Sheringham railway line. Cyclists can use the train as part of a day out and to combine routes to give a desired distance.

Routes 2 and 7 are used in conjunction with other railways lines, the North Norfolk Railways and the Bure Valley Railway.

Allow about one hour for each 8 - 10 miles of cycling, actually on the move.

Please don't forget to consult the timetable before you set off.
