(S) From the bus stop, head northwards through Belton along Station Road North until the road bends sharply right into St Johns Road. Take the track to the left veering off to the right as it passes Windmill View. This path then leads down to the riverside.

(1) Turn right and follow the river going behind the marina. The path then continues along the riverside to Gariannonum where time can be taken out exploring this ancient Roman construction. The path continues on the northern side of the ruins, leading down wooden steps to the riverside. (For refreshments see Useful Information section)

(2) The path continues for 6.3 Km along the banks of Breydon Water, under Breydon Bridge, and onto the first terraced housing of Great Yarmouth.

Refreshments :

• (2) At the Fisherman's Inn, the path turns left to follow around the river side of the pub which has seasonal opening times. If closed, an alternative refreshment can be found at the Queens Head by taking the track to the right and continue along Church Road to where it junctions with High Road. Keep straight ahead and the Queens head is just beyond the junction with Back Lane.
• At the end : For pub refreshments both the Mariners and the Troll Cart are worth seeking out. From the bridge, turn right and take the first narrow alley on the left between HSBC and Lloyds banks. This is one of Great Yarmouth's historic Rows which were developed up until the 19th century. They were the result of a law which only allowed building development within the Medieval town walls and with limited space houses were built as close together as possible resulting in these so called Rows. This particular one is numbered 59 which is displayed on the side of the HSBC building. The Mariners is at the bottom of this Row on the right and always has a good range of ales. Turn left past the Mariners and then right onto Regent Street. At the end turn right onto King Street then the next left. The Troll Cart is found as the road becomes pedestrianised by the bus station.
