Marriott's Way

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marriott's Way is a footpath in Norfolk, England. It is 21 miles (34 km) long and is named after William Marriott, the chief engineer of the Midland and Great Northern Railway. The path uses the trackbed of this former railway line.

Marriott's way goes through Reepham and, when running as a railway line, it had the sharpest bend on the whole of the British rail network - The Themelthorpe loop.

Notable attractions on the route include the controversial derelict Whitwell Station site, as well as the vast unspoilt fauna and flora. It is also a popular cycling route[1] and is part of the National Cycle Network (Route 1).Marriott's Way can be reached from Norwich City Centre by following the Wensum Riverside Walk.
