The '''Norfolk Coast Path'''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/peddars-way-and-norfolk-coast-path/ |title=Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path |publisher=National Trails |access-date=9 June 2021}}</ref> is a [[long-distance footpath]] in [[Norfolk]], running 83 miles (133.5&nbsp;km) from [[Hunstanton]] to [[Hopton-on-Sea]]. It was opened in 1986 and covers the North Norfolk Coast AONB ([[Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty]]). It is now part of the [[King Charles III England Coast Path]].

It links with the [[Peddars Way]] at [[Holme-next-the-Sea]], and the two in combination form the Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path National Trail, one of 15 [[National Trails]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/ |title=Home page |publisher=National Trails |access-date=9 June 2021}}</ref> in England and Wales. It links to the [[Angles Way]] and the [[Wherryman's Way]] at [[Great Yarmouth]], and to both ends of the [[Weavers' Way]], at [[Cromer]] and Great Yarmouth. In December 2014, the trail was extended to [[Sea Palling]] and forms part of the [[England Coast Path]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Norfolk Coast Path inc England Coast Path|url=https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/out-and-about-in-norfolk/norfolk-trails/short-and-circular-walks/norfolk-coast-path|publisher=Norfolk County Council|access-date=9 September 2016}}</ref> In October 2016, the trail was further extended to Hopton-on-Sea.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/news/walkers-to-enjoy-new-stretch-of-coast-path-in-norfolk|title=Walkers to enjoy new stretch of coast path in Norfolk|date=24 October 2016 |publisher=Natural England|language=en|access-date=9 June 2021}}</ref>
