The Angles Way is along-distance footpath in England, close to theRiver Waveney andRiver Little Ouse and thus close to theNorfolk/Suffolk border betweenGreat Yarmouth andThetford.
Originally the Angles Way went only as far asKnettishall Heath, but a section of some 15 miles (24 km) onwards to Thetford, once described as the Angles Way Link, is now regarded as part of the Angles Way itself, and signed as such at Thetford and described as such on the website of Norfolk County Council who maintain the route[1].
The route may be conveniently divided into eight stages:
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 theA143 road, enabling walkers of the path to make use of public transport.
The Angles Way connects with thePeddars Way andIcknield Way Path at Knettishall Heath, and theSt Edmund's Way near Thetford, allowing longer walks to be undertaken.
Angles Way was voted the best waterside walk in Britain by waterscape.com in 2003. However, though the route broadly follows the River Waveney and River Little Ouse, only the section from Great Yarmouth to Beccles is a waterside walk, almost all of the rest of the route being merely near the rivers.
