Norfolk is full of things to see and do, but did you know that it’s also packed with things to do for motorcycle enthusiasts?
Whether you’ve just got your first bike or you’ve been riding for decades, we guarantee there’s a hidden treasure on this list that you’ve never heard of (and if you’ve heard of all of them then hats off to you)...
Let’s get into it!
Hit the Dirt | Swaffham
Kicking off the list today we have the perfect off-road experience located inside of Swaffham - Hit the Dirt!
This premier off-road facility offers a well-maintained dirt track that the team works hard to keep open whatever the weather. But don’t worry, safety is their priority, so please be rest assured and know you’re in good hands.
They also offer a youth track for smaller bikes and quads, and they’re currently developing a course for trial riders too. So, if you ever find yourself in town and fancy a bit of off-roading - you know where to go!
Address: Old Picnic Site, Swaffham PE37 7QE
Route 11 | Attleborough
Next, we have the Route 11 Kitchen cafe, situated alongside the A11 near Attleborough — the perfect stop for visitors from all walks of life, especially bikers!
Open from 8:30 am to 3 pm every Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the Cafe offers some fantastic breakfast and lunch options (these can be viewed on their TripAdvisor page). However, if you’re in the market for Chinese food on your travels, you can get it every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 5 pm to close.
So whether you’re looking to book a bike meet or perhaps you just need somewhere to grab a bite and chill, it’s worth popping your head in and saying hello.
Address: A11 Northbound, Besthorpe Attleborough, NR17 2PU
Two Wheel Tuesday | Attleborough
Throughout the warmer seasons, the Ox & Plough Pub in Old Buckenham hosts Two Wheel Tuesdays - (as the name suggests, every Tuesday).
Founded by the pub's owner, Ben Devlin, the weekly event celebrates his passion for motorcycles. What started as a 30-bike event (half of which were Ben’s) now regularly attracts over 700 bikes, ranging from vintage models to top-range sports bikes.
Aside from the liquid refreshments, Ox & Plough also offers wonderful grub from a handful of local food vendors, such as the Flying Chef, Thai Orchid, Pauls Plaice, and Lick Carribean food.
Address: The Green, Old Buckenham, Attleborough NR17 1RN
The Coast Road - A149 | Cromer Stretch
Onto the next hidden treasure of Norfolk, we have the A149. A 34-mile long stretch of road linking Cromer and Hunstanton - also known as “The Coast Road”.
BikeMatters Alex is a personal fan of this route, stating that the Coast Road makes for an extremely pleasant ride, featuring plenty of beautiful views from the North Norfolk coast, as well as plenty of twists and turns, rises, and falls along the way.
There are also dozens of coastal towns to stop at for a rest and some chips (or a BucketList if you find yourself in Cromer) by the sea, making it a perfect choice for someone looking for a worthwhile scenic trip.
Norfolk Motorcycle Museum | North Walsham
Located just inside North Walsham, the Norfolk Motorcycle Museum is filled to the brim with a rather spectacular collection of motorcycles dating back to the 1900s and all the way up to the 1980s.
Over the years, the owners have brought together over 150 bikes from the local area, including some lesser-known names such as Cotton and Excelsior. There’s even a Henderson on display!
With such a large collection of vintage motorcycles, it’s hardly a surprise that the owners have developed a wealth of knowledge about vintage motorcycles. They’re happy to chat with visitors, so be sure to ask them questions as you wander!
Address: Norwich Road, North Walsham NR28 0DS
Whitwell and Reepham Station | Reepham
Next up we have the Whitwell and Reepham Station which as the name suggests, is located within a Train Station within the quiet town of Reepham.
If you like a train ride, you’ll be pleased to know that the Steam service runs hourly in Winter and every half hour through Summer for just £5 per adult. This means you can park up, hop onto the train, relax, and perhaps grab a bite to eat at the station’s restaurant as the day comes to a close.
Bike meets will start up again within the summer months between March and October from 5 pm-10 pm every Friday - giving you the perfect excuse to grab your friends and get out for some food and drink in the evening sun!
Address: Whitwell Road, Reepham, NR10 4GA
The Norfolk Broads
If you fancy making a day out of your trip to the motorcycle museum, then why not take a ride (or a stroll) down the Norfolk Broads?
The Norfolk Broads is just one of fifteen National Parks spread across the UK and is made up of over 60 open areas of water, meaning there are plenty of great routes you can take yourself and/or friends on as you take in the beautiful landscape.
I can also personally assure you that there are plenty of great pubs and restaurants across the Broads for you to visit whenever you require being fed and watered, with a personal recommendation of mine being the Rising Sun in Coltishall.
Below we have compiled a list of some bike routes to take, these include:
- Three Rivers Way Hoveton to Horning (2.5 miles)
- Stokesby Loop (8 miles)
- Grand Estate Cycle Route (11 miles)
- Reedham (12 miles)
- Thurne to Somerton (15 miles)
- Loddon to Gillingham (17 miles)
- Horsey to Bastwick (19 miles)
- Bure Valley Railway Loop (19 miles)
- Marriot's Way (25 miles)
- Southern Broads Loop (38 miles)
Grumpy’s Cafe | Earsham
If you ever find yourself near Earsham, well then I have the cafe for you!
Popular within the bike scene in Norfolk, Grumpy’s holds weekly bike meets every Wednesday through the months of March to October, a great opportunity to get the local bike community together over a pint (or lemonade if you prefer) and a bite to eat.
However, if you fancy visiting any other day of the week you can bag yourself with a variety of homemade goods including cakes, hot meals, and drinks from 8 am-4 pm every day!
Address: The Old Mill, Church Rd, Earsham NR35 2TQ
Great Yarmouth Wheels Festival | Great Yarmouth
Next up we have the Great Yarmouth Wheels Festival!
Returning to the seaside town of Great Yarmouth for the ninth time in 2025, the Wheels Festival brings together lovers of two and four-wheels alike. The two-day extravaganza is jam-packed full of a variety of cars, stunt man, superbikes, and classic cars, all spread out across the iconic Yarmouth seafront.
The festival offers a diverse Autojumble, bringing together people from all across the UK who can help you find rare car/bike parts, accessories, and merchandise beyond your wildest dreams.
Address: St Nicholas Car Park on South Beach Parade, NR30 3JP
Peddars Way | Green-lane Trail
Also worth mentioning on our list is Peddars Way, a green-lane trail that you can ride on.
Though it starts officially in Suffolk, the route runs through Thetford north towards the North Norfolk Coast, and in total is about 50 miles long. Some of it is restricted and not for driving on, but there is a decent chunk of it that you can navigate on two wheels (with the right bike).
BikeMatters Alex says 'I've ridden it plenty of times before on the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R, and smaller portions on other bikes (Sinnis Terrain 125, Ducati DesertX, Honda CB500X, and Honda X-ADV) and it's a lovely little place to stretch off-road legs. Though a bit sandy. Plus there are countless fire trails to explore in Thetford' - It's like a green-lane paradise in Norfolk, plenty of adventure riders head down there from far & wide!
Address: Knettishall Heath Thetford, IP22 2TQ
Snetterton Circuit | Snetterton
Finishing off our list today we have admittedly one of the most obvious choices of this list - the iconic race track of Snetterton.
Located in the South of Norfolk, Snetterton is the home of the British Superbike Championship, as well as many other race series including the MotoGP. Depending on what you prefer, you can either sit in the grandstands and attend one of the racing events or if you fancy living out your MotoGP or BSB dreams on track, then why not book yourself and a friend on one of their track days hosted frequently throughout the year?
Either way, the option is yours, and whichever you choose makes for an excellent day out - you can even stop for a McDonalds on your travels back, which is just by the racetrack!
Address: Snetterton Circuit, Norwich, NR16 2JU
