Peddars Way

The Peddars Way is a long distance footpath that passes through Suffolk and Norfolk, England [1]. The Peddars Way is 46 miles long and follows the route of a Roman road [1]. The name-type, which recurs in medieval records from other parts of East Anglia, derives from Middle English pedder, meaning an itinerant trader [1]. It is first mentioned on a map of 1587 AD [1]. It starts at Knettishall Heath in Suffolk (near the Norfolk-Suffolk border, about 7 km or 4 mi east of Thetford), and it links with the Norfolk Coast Path at Holme-next-the-Sea [1].
