Rebellion Way: A New Long-Distance Cycling Route in Norfolk, UK

Funded through the European Regional Development Fund’s EXPERIENCE project, Cycling UK just announced their sixth long-distance cycling route, the Rebellion Way. The 232-mile (373-kilometer) route begins and ends in the city of Norwich and is designed to be ridden over four to six days. It follows a mix of country lanes, bridleways, byways, cycle paths, and forest tracks, and is said to be suitable for most bikes and anyone with reasonable fitness.

According to Claire Frecknall, ambassador for Mason Cycles, “The Rebellion Way is a great ‘all ability’ route. Quiet lanes, beautiful forests, and big skies [make it] a proper adventure but without masses of elevation. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to take their first steps into multi-day trips.”

Providing some background on how the route earned its name, Cycling UK says, “The Rebellion Way name comes from the fact that while this ancient county is now characterised by a relaxed, timeless, pastoral charm, it actually has a fascinatingly turbulent history from the Iron Age onwards. Exploring the stories, ancient sites, stunning vistas and thriving wildlife of this unique area enriches every mile of this leisurely but rewarding loop.”

There is a printed route guide available through Cycling UK for £14 and you can learn more about the EXPERIENCE project here. Find all the details on the new Rebellion Way route at CyclingUK.org.
