For those wanting a leisurely stroll there are a number of well maintained and waymarked circular walks (around 4-6 miles)
click here for details.
For those looking for more of a challenge, three long distance footpaths run through
The Broads, details below.
The Weavers' Way
The Weavers' Way (56 miles) will take you from Cromer on the north Norfolk coast, through the northern part of
The Broads, to Great Yarmouth on the east coast.
The Angles Way
From Great Yarmouth, the Angles Way (78 miles) follows the Waveney and Little Ouse valleys to Knettishall Heath Country Park.
The Wherryman's Way
The Wherryman's Way (35 miles) runs along the River Yare between Norwich and Great Yarmouth and is accessible on foot, by cycle, train or river bus, and includes 10 circular village walks en-route.
Except for many of
The Broads’ nature reserves, dogs are permitted on most public rights of way, as long as they are kept under close control.

The Bittern Line provides an excellent rail service between
Norwich and
The Broads. The route includes stops at Salhouse, Hoveton and Wroxham, before continuing its journey up to the North Norfolk coast and finishing at Sheringham.
A series of leaflets ‘Off the Bittern Track’, detailing walks from each station on the Bittern Line, can be purchased at Bittern Line stations for £2 per pack or obtained free when you buy a ticket to travel on the line. If you’re not happy exploring on your own, and are a rail ticket holder, you can take part in a free guided walk from a number of the Bittern Line stations.
Walks are held monthly, some include refreshment stops and efforts are made to include child friendly pubs and cafes. For dates, times and more information, contact
Natural Surroundings on 01263 711091.
