Walking along the River Waveney

There are about 200 miles of definitive footpaths in the Broads of which 60 miles are waymarked long distance routes or circular walks. The Broads Authority has sign-posted 24 walks, varying in length from half a mile to 15 miles in the Bure and Waveney Valleys and in the Ant-Thurne area. Many of these paths cross some of the most scenic landscapes and waterscapes in the Broads, sometimes following the water's edge, at other times skirting fenland or passing through grazing marsh.

There are two series of Broads Walks along public footpaths: the Waveney Valley and the Bure Valley walks. Amongst the seven waymarked walks at Waveney are the Bigod Way, riverside walks from Beccles to Gillingham and Geldeston, and a walk around the remains of the Roman fort at Burgh Castle, with dramatic views over Halvergate Marshes. You can choose from walks between one mile and 12 miles, depending on how keen or fit you are!

The Weavers' Way, a long distance footpath, runs from Cromer on the north Norfolk coast, to Great Yarmouth on the east coast, passing through the northern part of the Broads. At Great Yarmouth it links up with the Angles Way which follows the Waveney and Little Ouse valleys to Knettishall Heath Country Park in Breckland.
