The B1153 is a rural B-road in northwest Norfolk. It is now roughly twice as long as it originally was.
The B1153 starts on the A47 to the north of Narborough. It heads north, going through Gayton and Grimston before meeting the A148 in Hillington. It multiplexes east along the A148 for a short distance to avoid crossing the parkland of Hillington Hall, before regaining its number and its route northwards.
Leaving Hillington behind, the B1153 crosses the Peddars Way and goes through Great Bircham before reaching the village of Docking. Here there's a multiplex east along the B1454 which ends when the B1153 turns onto a short one-way loop to head north and leave the village. The road continues a few miles northwards to reach the A149 at Brancaster, where the B1153 ends. An unclassified road continues ahead, ending about a mile later the road ends at the beach.
In 1922 the B1153 only consisted of the Hillington to Docking section. It was extended both ways in the 1920s.
