Following this ancient Roman Road southbound will bring you to Thetford passing through the Brecklands.

The village of Thornham is approximately 1 mile long and hosts an independent delicatessen and cafe along with a pick your own fruit farm cum orchard.

On the beach, prehistoric forests can be seen at low tide, and archaeological digs have found mesolithic flint submerged.

Not far along the A149 is the village of Brancaster, a Roman town with the name Branodunum, meaning "Fortress of Bran".

The road runs around a mile inland from the Norfolk Coast Path at this point.

The road then comes out passing a green and village; Burnham Overy Staithe.

The land to the north is owned by Viscount Coke as part of the Holkham Estate, situated on the next village.

The road passes more Salt Marshes to the north, and pine forests to the south.

The road is built on a small raised bed to prevent flooding as it runs through marshes.

This marsh is flat and runs from the dunes in Holkham to the woodland on the estate the other side of Wells.

In Stiffkey, the road narrows to a single lane causing approaching traffic to give way.

After Blakeney, the road descends into the Glaven Valley, and into view comes the landmark of Cley next the Sea Windmill.

Again the road becomes a bottle neck in the summer months as it pass through the village of Cley next the Sea.

The marshes are a Nature Reserve and all along this stretch of the road there are lay-bys and car parks which are used as viewing points.

As then runs right alongside the A149, squeezed between the road and the Sheringham Golf Club which is set on the cliffs in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The mini roundabout at Sheringham it is 48.2 miles (77.6 km) from the start of the A149 at King's Lynn.

The A149 runs south of the heart of the town, passing the prominent hill on the left known locally as "Beeston Bump".

At 49 miles (79 km) the road reaches the village of Beeston Regis followed by West Runton.

The last village before Cromer is East Runton were the landscape of the coast is peppered with static caravans or mobile homes.

This part of the road becomes congested in the summer months and long queues form in the one-way system.

Further on is the village of Antingham before reaching North Walsham, (61 miles (98 km) from King's Lynn).

Here the road turn right and takes a new route around the western side of the Town, past the Bacton Gas terminal's link to the rail network.

The road now takes a large north easterly arch around Barton Broad, crossing the River Ant at Wayford Bridge.

The road now curves back towards Stalham passing several boat hire yards.

Stalham is 69 miles (111 km) from the start of the A149, and from here the road cuts across the flatlands of Norfolk skirting the Broads as it goes.

This part of the A149 has a bad reputation for fatalities and care should be taken at all the junctions that dissect this 5-mile (8.0 km) stretch.

After the bypass, the road narrows back to a Single Carriageway as it enters Great Yarmouth.

At the next set of traffic lights is Jellicoe Road, leading to Great Yarmouth Horse Racecourse.

At the large roundabout the A149 comes to an end, and joins the A47 road at the northern side of the Breydon Bridge, close to Great Yarmouth railway station.

The total distance from Hardwick flyover to this roundabout in Great Yarmouth is 85.237 miles (137.176 km) (Goggle Pedometer).
