Starting at the southeastern end, the path begins at the Parish Church of St Nicholas in the town of North Walsham.

On the outskirts of the town the path follows the track bed of the disused Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway Company which linked North Walsham to Cromer.

This section is an area of wild flowers, brambles, scrub and undisturbed grassy banks, which make it an ideal habitat for butterflies.

[3] The ‘Way’ passes through the church yard and out across open farm land towards the North Sea coast at the western end of the village.

At Mundesley the rout follows the main coast road to the northern tip of the village and to All Saints Church.

The route now heads back inland towards the next village of Gimingham this part of the trail passes through the valley of the River Mun.

The path enters the village of Gimingham past the rebuilt old corn watermill and the preserved steam engine.

From this point there is an optional tour which takes in the villages of Trunch, Swafield, Bradfield and then back on itself to Trimingham and its unusually named church St John the Baptist's Head.

From Southrepps the path takes a route to the south of Frogshall Hamlet along the ancient farm lanes towards the coastal village of Overstrand.

Northrepps parish church is called St Mary the Virgin, retrace your footstep back to Paston Way or pass through the village turning east over Hungry Hill and take the second detour.

Return to Hungry Hill via Sandy lane and the Shrieking pit which legend has it was the scene of the demise of a young maiden lured to her death by evil spirits.

Then the path moves on to Northrepps and then turn north towards Overstrand down Toll's Hill, once the site of a warning beacon during the time of the Napoleonic wars.
