Other walks in the area

Geldeston Locks from Beccles

Departure from Beccles (Suffolk)

A circular walk along the Angles Way from Beccles to Geldeston Locks. This walk passes the location of the historic Barsham Hall, source of the ghostly legend of Old Blunderhazard who is said to ride in his coach drawn by four fire breathing headless horses to Norwich and back each Christmas Eve.

Angles Way - Earsham to Beccles

Departure from Earsham (Norfolk)

A walk along the Angles Way between Earsham and Beccles heading up the hills that overlook Outney Common. This is a really rewarding start to an easy ramble that continues across the Waveney Valley to Mettingham before continuing down the Waveney Valley. Although Geldeston is on the opposite side of the river to The Angles Way the excursion across the Shipmeadow marshes is well worth the effort to visit the unique Geldeston Locks Inn.

The Wherrymans Way - Rockland to Loddon

Departure from Thurton (Norfolk)

A walk along Norfolks Wherrymans Way. The only way one can see the sights of the River Yare is to either sail the river or walk the Wherrymans Way. Even in a boat, one cannot get as good a view as the path along the heightened defence banks. This is stereotypical Norfolk in all its glory and although it is a lengthy section of walking, it is well worth the effort.

Angles Way - Belton to Great Yarmouth

Departure from Belton with Browston (Norfolk)

A walk along the Angles Way from its start at Great Yarmouth to Belton.
The Angles Ways journey begins with a walk along the banks of Breydon Water to Belton. Along this route can be seen the impressive remains of the Roman fort Gariannonum at Burgh Castle. This is a simple afternoon walk with a frequent bus service linking Great Yarmouth and Belton for the return journey. On this occasion, we walked the path in reverse having set up camp at Belton.

Angles Way - Belton to Oulton Broad

Departure from Belton with Browston (Norfolk)

A walk along the Angles Way between Belton and Oulton Broad, crossing the border from Norfolk to Suffolk.

The Angles Way roughly follows the River Waveney down to Oulton Broad from Belton although there are very few locations where the river can be viewed. Most of the route is across fields, along country lanes and through little bits of woodland. It is a pleasant full afternoons walk with a couple of pubs en route for refreshment. The main place of interest is Somerleyton, named after a peace loving Viking, Sumarlithi, who arrived in the 10th century. It is now a sleepy little village, famed for being the home to Christopher Cockerell, the inventor of the hovercraft, but more renowned for its connection with Gradabor, a giant who once ransacked the area. Some say his ghost still returns to re-enact this destruction.
