Weavers' Way (Cromer to Great Yarmouth)

Linking the north Norfolk coast at Cromer to the east Norfolk coast at Great Yarmouth, the 61 mile Weavers' Way passes through a diverse landscape of woodland, mixed farmland, historic country estates, disused railway lines, riverside walks and the famous Norfolk Broads.

More to explore

Weavers' Way links with several other Norfolk Trails;

• At Cromer, join the Norfolk Coast Path including England Coast Path (which heads west, right along the coast to Hunstanton) or the Paston Way (Cromer to North Walsham) (which meanders along to link again with Weavers' Way, in North Walsham)
• At Aylsham join the Marriott's Way (Norwich to Aylsham) to Norwich
• At Great Yarmouth pick up either the Wherryman's Way (Norwich to Great Yarmouth) to Norwich along the Yare Valley or the Angles Way along the Waveney Valley, a full 93 miles to Thetford
