Peddars Way is an ancient Roman road that was built shortly after the tribal revolt and subsequent defeat of AD61 led by Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni. It allowed the movement of Roman soldiers to police the area and was built using local materials, in a straight line.
The name is Peddars Way is thought to have arisen during the 15th or 16th Century.
The route begins in Suffolk, and runs north through Breckland and Castle Acre, and then joins up with the Norfolk Coast Path. The route covers 93 miles and most of it is suitable for walkers, horse riders and cyclists. In May 2000 five commissioned sculptures were unveiled along the Trail for users to enjoy.
