Walking & cycling directions

Attleborough is generally flat, without busy roads, so is pleasant to walk and cycle around. The last section of the journey to our office is unlit, so if you are travelling after dark it is advisable to bring lights and/or reflective clothing.

From the railway station (10mins walk) turn left if you came from Norwich and right if you came through Ely. Walk up Station Rd and then follow the left fork along Connaught Rd, into the High Street. The office is just after Hargham Road on the left as you are walking.

From the Queen's Square bus stop (5mins walk), simply head down Exchange Street and join the above directions from the High Street onward.

The High Street bus stop is only a minute from the office (number 13 First bus service from Norwich only).

The cycling route is more or less the same as the walking one above, but please be aware that a clockwise one-way system operates in the town centre, so on returning ensure you go via Exchange Street.
