Best walk from Lowestoft

Beccles Station to Lowestoft Station

A largely flat and easy walk on the Angles Way and local paths, on paved and unpaved footpaths winding along the river and grazing marsh, then through boatyards into Lowestoft. Wide paths for the most part; muddy and slippy in winter, a bit exposed to the elements and with a few kissing gates but no stiles. Follows the established Angles Way from Beccles to Oulton Broad. Passes the Carlton Marshes nature reserve with bird hides and abundant wildlife (great egrets, little egrets, geese and ducks). Public toilets by the boatyard in Beccles. Bus and train to each end.

18km.

The riverside path is exposed to the elements, so dress accordingly; the path past the boatyards in Oulton Broad can be wet with the tide.

Lunch: Little until the Carlton Marshes visitor centre, after which there are many pubs, cafes and hotels.
