A particularly flat part of the country, characterized by a tranquil pastoral charm and ancient sites, bursting with superb views. This circular clockwise 232 mile (373km) route starts and finishes in Norwich and along the route, you'll enjoy overnight stops in the towns of Thetford and Kings Lynn before reaching the coastal charm of Wells-next-the-sea and Sheringham. From here you'll head inland once again to finish in historic Norwich.
Spread out evenly over 5 days of riding you'll find yourself meandering along a varied mix of quiet, country lanes, byways, cycle paths and bridleways on a leisurely yet rewarding ride. Although the majority of the route takes place on sealed roads a proportion takes place on unsurfaced tracks.

The Rebellion Way takes its name from the turbulent history associated with the Warrior Queen Boudicca who led a revolt against Roman rule and landowner Robert Kett who instead of fighting a rebellion joined its cause.

Majestic manor houses and villages full of character and charm with varied terrain from rolling country lanes to wooded ways. Hear tales of Boudicca and rebellions and explore delightful Diss and stunning Holkham Hall. Cycle tour over miles of gentle pedalling through the Norfolk Broads and pose with Captain Mainwaring in Thetford.
