Hereward Way

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hereward Way is a long distance footpath in England. It runs from Oakham in Rutland to East Harling and Harling Road railway station in Norfolk.

The path takes its name from Hereward the Wake, the 11th century leader who fought against William the Conquerer, who had his base on the Isle of Ely that is located near to the middle of the path.

Each end of the path has a railway station. Stations towards the centre of the path are located at Shippea Hill and Ely.
