Summary

The Angles Way was devised by the Ramblers' Association, and together with the Peddars Way, Norfolk Coast Path, and Weavers' Way, forms the 227-mile Around Norfolk Walk. From Great Yarmouth the route goes by Breydon Water, along and near the River Waveney, passing around Oulton Broad, Beccles, Bungay, Harleston, and Diss to its source, and then by the Little Ouse from its source very close by through heathland and marsh to Knettishall Heath in the Suffolk Brecks. Less than a mile onwards west across the heath, the coincident start of the Peddars Way and finish of the Icknield Way Path are reached. Each end of the footpath may be accessed from railway stations, with several more railway stations between Great Yarmouth and Beccles, and a regular bus service runs along the A143 road, enabling walkers of the path to make use of public transport.
