Anyone live near Kings Lynn?

Going here for a long weekend with the family in a couple of weeks but i don't know the area.

Taking my bike as the mother in law is coming and i will need some down time so hope to get out for a couple of little rides, 20-30 miles or so

Wondered if anyone has any nice routes, suggested areas for riding? We are staying 2 or 3 miles south of Kings Lynn itself IIRC

Could be worth getting in touch with the local cycling club on Facebook? They might be able to point you in the right direction to a route bank. That's usually what I do anyway

Thetford Forest might make for interesting riding - or as interesting as it gets in that part of the world. Strava heatmaps might be your friend too.

Do loads of cycling up that way but mainly from Norwich side rather than KL - lovely routes all round there, you can head round to Hunstanton and Holkham from Kings Lynn both nice spots for a stop, some lumps but nothing you could really call a hill. There is an event on at Holkham shortly called Pedal Norfolk over the Bank Holiday coming up - have a look at their website as I think they publish their routes on there, they so a 25, 50 and 100 each day IIRC, you could probably adapt something from those or as already suggest there is a club called KL Wheelers I think - they may publish club runs.

Head across to Grimston then up through Docking to Brancaster. Then East along the coast to wells for a break. Keep going along the coast depending on how far you want to go.

Plenty of routes inland from anywhere along the coast back to where you started.

I used to work near there but never cycled in the area. North Norfolk and the coast looked to be decent cycling country. And if you want a bike shop there's FatBirds
