The Scores Trail
Lowestoft - All Year Round
A self-guided free tour of Lowestoft’s history and heritage. The Scores are a unique feature of this venerable and picturesque fishing port. They are a series of narrow lanes created over the years by people wearing paths in the soft, sloping cliff as they travelled between the historic High Street and the Beach Village. The origin of the word ‘score’ is thought to be a corruption of ‘scour’, or possibly from the Old English ‘scora’, which means to make or cut a line. Although the Beach Village is no more, the Scores are still of great interest to visitors. The Scores Trail has been designed to help visitors understand a little more of Lowestoft’s history and of the significance of these ancient pathways leading down to the sea.
