Description

Angles Way is a 93 mile walking trail following the county boundary of Norfolk and Suffolk, meandering from Great Yarmouth through to Thetford.

After Breydon Water (near Great Yarmouth) Angles Way follows the Waveney Valley to the source of the River Waveney, passing through open countryside, broad river valleys, pretty villages and the ancient market towns of Beccles, Bungay, Harleston and Diss.

The route then meets up with the Little Ouse at Knettishall Heath with a striking change in scenery as it winds through the heathland and woodland of the Suffolk Brecks before finishing in Thetford.

In 2003, waterscape.com voted Angles Way the best waterside walk in Britain.

Note that the Angles Way used to start at Kettishall Heath car park at the junction with the Peddars Way and the Ickneld Way, but was extended to Thetford around 2006, adding about 16 miles. The new start point is on Nuns Bridges Road.  Most of the online material describes the old, shorter (77 miles) route.  Our GPX is for the old route, and we will update it when someone runs the entire new route.
