Updates relating to the 2nd edition
2025
p141, map 27, Thornham. The Village Shop near to the Thornham Deli, no longer exists.
p145, map 29, and p146, Brancaster. Boardwalk near Brancaster. The old broken and unstable, narrow wooden boardwalk has now been completely replaced (remnants of the old narrow railway sleepers route are still next to the new boardwalk and indeed looked very precarious to walk on). This new board walk is for the whole length and looked very new. It is a full 1.2mm wide and made of recycled plastic 'boards' with great grip, so very safe to walk on.

Updates relating to the 1st edition

August
p188 Map 44, East Runton. Leakes Caravan Park, Cromer Road. The coastal path runs behind the caravan park not through it. The coastal path signs point this way but people walking into the caravan park think it's the coastal path and then have to turn around after finding out it's a dead end and private property.
IMPORTANT: Hunstanton to Burnham Overy Staithe distance = 16½ miles
pp139 and 246 Note that the distance figure for this section, mentioned on p139 and in the text on the overview maps at the end of the book (p246), should be 16½ miles and not the 13½ miles as listed (which is only the distance from Holme to Burnham Overy Staithe without the 3 mile Hunstanton extension). We apologise for this error. The distance is correctly given on the profile diagram on p246.
2019
p15 September to December. Norwich Beer Festival is at the end of October, not the end of September.
May
p130 Map 23, Holme-Next-The-Sea. The White Horse pub is on the east of the road junction, under the letter i in White on the map, not to the west of the road.
