The route is largely compatible with a tricycle too, but we’ll highlight any pinches or gates which might be an issue for wider cycles. Plenty of places to stop and recharge make it easy to keep an e-bike topped up. It will be totally fine on a mountain bike too if you want maximum comfort and confidence. The non-technical, gently rolling nature of the off-road terrain and the sometimes scruffy road surfaces of the Rebellion Way make it perfect for a gravel bike, hybrid or touring bike with larger tyres.

While it’s a still a surprisingly rewarding ride for experienced adventurers, the Rebellion Way has been specifically designed to be not just achievable but very enjoyable for riders of all levels. If you don’t have time to do the full Rebellion Way route in one go, there is also an option to cut across the middle between Stoke Holy Cross and Swaffham to create two shorter loops. Norfolk’s weather is usually fairly mild and there are lots of places to stop and eat, drink, recharge or stay overnight on the route.

The off-road sections are fast, non-technical and largely weather-resistant, so those miles come very easily.

While the overall distance might seem large, there is minimal climbing on slopes that are never steep. Exploring the stories, ancient sites, stunning vistas and thriving wildlife of this unique area enriches every mile of this leisurely but rewarding loop. The Rebellion Way name comes from the fact that while this ancient county is now characterised by a relaxed, timeless, pastoral charm, it actually has a fascinatingly turbulent history from the Iron Age onwards. Meandering along a mix of quiet, mostly flat back roads, byways, cycle paths and bridleways under huge panoramic skies, it’s a fantastic introduction to multi-day, on- and off-road adventuring for anyone.
