Start of Marriott's Way

Great maintained foot and cycle path. Follow river then old railway line. You can go to len wade reedham and aylsham total 26 miles one way.

The start is precisely where the old Platform 1 of Norwich's old City Station used to be. There is an information board here and at various points along the walk.

Nice walk from the City to West Earlham! There are some small little fields along the way that are perfect for picnics.

Plenty of remains in the ground as a reminder this was once one of Norwich's railway terminii.

Good ride, good surfaces, much better than the first time I rode it which was a few years ago

A good place to walk or ride. Takes you out in the countryside very quickly. On a bike, within about 15-minutes, you can be surrounded by countryside.

Great place for riding bikes and walking

Marriotts way is great I use it 3/4 times a week. It would be better if the council cut back the overgrown sides of weeds however as its very narrow in places now.

At the start of Marriott's Way you'll discover remnants of Norwich City railway station, including a crossing gate, an overgrown platform, and the foundations of an engine shed.Walking along the path reveals further fragments of rail history in the form of bridges and a restored platform at Hellesdon.As for Marriott's Way itself, it seems popular with joggers and cyclists and is an easy flat walk. Bring refreshments and water with you if you intend sticking to the path.

We're so lucky to have this cycle-path/footpath based on the old M&GNJR railway that runs the 25 miles from Norwich, finishing at the picturesque Norfolk town of Alysham. Well used by recreational and commuter cyclists, dog walkers, ramblers, walkers seeking pubs and refreshments. Passes old industrial sites, farms, woodlands and the Whitwell Station Railway Museum (well worth a visit). The old railway line used to finish at the old Norwich City Railway Station, bombed by the Luftwaffe during the Baedeker Raidsduring the war. My mum used to catch trains to the Midlands from here. The start of Marriotts Way is just off the Barn Road/Barker Street roundabout part of the Norwich Inner Ring Road a lovely path through the Norfolk Countryside.
