Norfolk - Rebellion Way

Join Skedaddle on the Rebellion Way, one of the newest additions to our range of UK Cycling Holidays. Our trip takes place in England’s eastern county of Norfolk. A particularly flat part of the country, characterised 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 we enjoy overnight stops in the towns of Thetford and Kings Lynn before we reach the coastal charm of Wells-next-the-sea and Sheringham.

From here we head inland once again to finish in historic Norwich. Spread out evenly over 5 days of riding we'll find ourselves 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. These are non-technical and have been included to aid the flow and enjoyment of your cycling journey.

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. During our days on the saddle we’ll be delving into this rich history and exploring the stories and sites associated with it.

In addition, we’ll visit Norfolk’s loveliest villages including the gorgeous Burnham Market and delightful Diss as we embrace and enjoy this tranquil part of the UK.

When you book on this holiday you’ll have an option to donate to Cycling UK to help with the upkeep of this route and others like it. Skedaddle will also be making a donation for every mile ridden on the Rebellion Way for each of our customers.

The Rebellion Way is also available as a private departure for groups of friends, colleagues, families or anyone else! If our standard dates don't work, if you'd like a slightly altered itinerary just for your group please give us a call for a chat.
