As you get nearer the big roundabout south of Kings Lynn, they are 'proper' cyclepaths, again shared, set back off the road with a grass verge inbetween them and A10. |

A10 bike paths
"Clive George"
West Winch, near Kings Lynn. Anybody have any experience of them? Yes, I used it to reach Beers Of Europe (.co.uk) until last September. They're mostly wide and fairly smooth, but unsuitable for high-speed or load-carrying because they dip for every driveway (but have priority) and give-way to every side-road. The section south of West Winch hadn't been officially designated as cycleway and the Oakwood Corner junction with A134 and NCN 11 C-road to Watlington was badly designed. There's also no drop kerb to access Garage Lane Setchey ;-) The tracks around the Hardwick Roundabout with the A47 are often unswept and overgrown and the traffic lights make that roundabout not too bad for A10-A149 movements anyway. The roadside track towards King's Lynn is probably still missing sections, so reach the town centre by turning right at the first lights, right at the end onto Oldmeadow Road, then left at the end onto Rollesby Road and through the bit of Extons Road next to Decorative Sleeves that's closed to motor vehicles and enjoy a ride through the Walks.

It's mostly a complete rebuild. I forget who paid for it. (Ultimately taxpayers, of course.) As you get nearer the big roundabout south of Kings Lynn, they are 'proper' cyclepaths, again shared, set back off the road with a grass verge inbetween them and A10. They're seperate cycle and pedestrian paths around the roundabout, usually split by a kerb or verge, but often full of debris and nettles in summer.
