Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill.

Starts at
Free roadside parking by the green in Geldeston village
Parking
Free roadside space in the village, perhaps 15 cars; the lane to Geldeston Locks is single-track with a tiny turning area, so walk it rather than drive it
Directions to the start →

Four and a quarter miles and about two hours on the Angles Way, the 77-mile path from Great Yarmouth to Knettishall Heath, out from the village along the Waveney to the old lock keeper's inn at Geldeston Locks and back over the grazing meadows. Start from the free roadside parking in Geldeston village by the green, since the lane down to the Locks is single-track with almost no space at the bottom and is best walked. The meadows are grazed by cattle for most of the year so leads are needed, the Waveney gives easy shallow access for a drink and a swim, and the riverside path can flood for days after heavy winter rain.
