I'm hopefully going to do the Rebellion Way soon, starting from King's Lynn.

Any suggestions as to a good place or area to leave a car for a few days please.

We're staying at the Premier Inn night before we start the Rebellion way and their happy for us to leave the van in the carpark for 5 days ( we did the same in Winchester when we did the King Alfred way)

When you get near Woodbastwick, there's a good pub called the Fur and Feathers to get a decent meal and a nice pint. I live around that area, if you need to do any bike maintenance at that point you're welcome to use my garage. Good luck!

Never been to King's Lynn, but can only ever laugh when I see it mentioned because of this

My parents are in Congham, just out of Lynn, I’ve just checked and you are more than welcome to park on their driveway for as long as you want. If this works for you, I’ll PM you the address.

If you like your punk, Faintest Idea are a great band from Kings Lynn.

We just did the a chunk to the Rebellion Way last week - from Thetford to Hunstanton - was a really good route, loads of places to stop and look at along the way (castles, churches, ruined abbeys etc).

Thanks a lot @prezet.

And that is very kind of you / them @sandboy. Hopefully our first night accommodation will have somewhere for the car, but otherwise I might take you up on your nice offer.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but has anyone ridden the Boudicca Way (Norwich to Diss) recently?  I rode it a few years ago, and it wasn't very well signposted or maintained.  Almost as if they didn't want anybody riding it....

Was very pleasant though, with a couple of nice pubs and some lovely Norfolk views.

Hi

I did the Rebellion Way earlier in the year and used Park on my drive - and parked here for 3 days  Asda South Wootton Kings Lynn, Langley Road, King's Lynn, PE30 3UG - the cost was £9.39.
