This gate opens onto the final stretch of Weaver’s Way, the 61-mile walkers’ route that starts on the North Norfolk coast at Cromer and wends its way across the county to the sea at Great Yarmouth.
Along its way, it leads the walker through woods, fields and pastures, alongside rivers and, occasionally, it takes to the roads. It weaves its way through the Broads villages to arrive here, on the outskirts of Acle.
It has yet another two villages (Tunstall and Halvergate) to visit before it crosses Halvergate Marsh for its final seemingly unending stage around the great sweep of Breydon Water and into Great Yarmouth.
This last stage, from Acle, is reckoned at 13 miles. Have I walked it? I have indeed. Several times. But not in the past 10 years. Now I walk only as far as those last two villages. I’ll leave Halvergate Marsh and the banks of Breydon to enthusiastic youngsters.

I‘d love to walk there.

A long stretch to walk.

13 miles was doable (when I was younger) but 61 moles needs at least one overnight accommodation

Miles. Although there might be moles as well

Great in summer too, with butterflies and dragonflies and special water flowers

This makes me realize exactly what we are missing- 60 mile walkers routes! We have all this space- and no way to walk from one piece of it to another and back again. I am going to have to find out how one would go about getting something like that!

You either need public transport available at both ends, or someone with a car or suchlike to come fetch you. Also determination. Once started on that final 13 miles there is no way to get off it. You have to keep walking
