Are there any cycle routes in the Borough?
Download our cycle map for Great Yarmouth and the surrounding area (PDF) [3MB] (opens new window) with seven leisurely routes, mostly run on roads and dedicated cycleways. It aims to provide cyclists with routes that make the most of the rich and varied local scenery in the area, from beaches to historic churches, to longer cycle routes that take in castles, windmills, country estates and other tourist attractions.
The Norfolk Coast Partnership provides information on cycle routes in the county, including the Norfolk Coast Cycleway (opens new window). Further information on walking and cycling routes in Norfolk can also be found on the Norfolk Trails interactive map (opens new window).
How can I get involved in promoting cycling across the Borough?
There is a local Cycle Forum that meets to encourage and promote cycling and to influence policy, and is involved in the implementation and design of many cycle schemes across the Borough. The forum always welcomes new members. Please see the agendas and minutes from the previous three meetings for more information:
