Geldeston Locks from Beccles

Start: Beccles Quay car park (NR34 9BB) Grid ref. TM 421 911

(S/E) From Beccles Quay car park, walk right out onto Fen Lane. Follow the lane soon with the canal on your right-hand side and carry on along the lane as it curves left in front of The Quay coffee house. Walk up Northgate and then right into Pudding Moor.

(1) Continue through to the main road (B1062). Turn right and follow the road, past Roos Hall and then right down a track. Keep to this track until just past the wood beyond Barsham Hall where it turns to a footpath.

(2) As the path enters a grassed field, turn right and over a stile and follow the field boundary with the wood, going onto the wood side as the boundary curves round to the left. The footpath descends down alongside the meadows. There is a marker post for the Geldeston Locks on the right.

(3) Take this, walking alongside the dyke and across the wooden bridge and onto the metal footbridge which leads into the ground of the Geldeston Locks pub. Take the track from the pub up to the road.

(4) Turn right and follow the road round, taking the right junction into Geldeston. Turn right opposite the Wherry Inn pub and then follow the path down the side of Geldeston Dyke, continuing along the riverside all the way through to Beccles. Cross over Beccles Old Bridge and turn left back down to the Quay. (S/E)
