An almost entirely off-road walk following the established Weavers Way, with a long flat, exposed stretch beside Breydon Water and fields that can become waterlogged and muddy and especially after Tunstall. No shade on the open marsh sections. Follows the Weavers Way through RSPB-managed marshland with abundant overwintering birds, including short-eared owls. Can be split at Berney Arms request stop.

Waterway: four fifths beside rivers and canals.

Elizabethan House Museum: Delightful treasury of 16th-century domestic history (National Trust; 1h to visit).

Lunch: Nowhere to eat en route — pack lunch!

Warnings: The stretch beside Breydon Water is very exposed with no shade; dress for wind and sun. There is one hairy crossing of the Acle Straight (A47). Cattle may be encountered on the marsh, and some fields can be very wet.
