The A149 is commonly known as "The Coast Road" to local residents and tourists, as this road runs along the North Norfolk coast from King's Lynn to Great Yarmouth, via coastal villages.
The road begins in King's Lynn on a roundabout with the A148 London Road and Nar Ouse Way and begins southbound out of King's Lynn. It runs over a railway bridge then past a Tesco Supermarket. It then reaches a major junction with the A47 and the A10 at a roundabout. It becomes a primary route heading north on Queen Elizabeth Way. This serves as an eastern bypass for King's Lynn. The road reaches a roundabout with the A1076 and the B1145 towards Gayton. The road continues as a primary route until Grimston Road Roundabout where the road becomes a secondary route. If you were to travel west along the A148, you would reach the centre of King's Lynn. Travelling east along the A148 would get you to Fakenham and Holt before reaching Cromer. When going from Lynn to Cromer, it is advisable to use the A148 to provide a faster straighter route.
Continuing north along the A149 will take you towards the North Norfolk Coast and is usually signposted for Heacham or Hunstanton. The road passes the historic Castle Rising castle and past Sandringham House and estate, shortly followed by Dersingham.
Snettisham is about 3 miles along the road. Snettisham has an RSPB Wildlife Reserve that throughout the year is a habitat for birds, often migrating from the north over the North Sea. The RSPB have compiled a list of "star species", that include the avocet.
The road continues onto Heacham and has a roadside petrol station, owned by BP. There is also a newly built lidl here and they are situated almost next to each other. The road passes a junction with a road to Bircham, and a road into the centre of the town, with links to the beach. This road, as it has done since pre-Georgian era, has been a connection for Heacham, Snettisham, Sandringham. The A149 in Heacham is now a bypass. There have been some record of this road being a Roman Road.
