Hike the Beccles & Angles Way loop for a moderate 5.7-mile (9.2 km) journey through the scenic Waveney Valley. This trail, taking about 2 hours and 20 minutes with only 66 feet (20 metres) of elevation gain, offers a mix of natural paths, paved sections, and gravel. You'll follow the River Waveney, traversing river walls and marshlands, and cross open fields bordered by zig-zag hedgerows. Keep an eye out for diverse wildlife like kingfishers and marsh harriers as you enjoy panoramic views of the unspoilt countryside. The route also weaves through the historic market town of Beccles, giving you glimpses of medieval and Georgian buildings.
Planning your visit to the Beccles & Angles Way loop is straightforward, with Beccles serving as an excellent starting point due to its public transport links. While the trail is generally accessible, be aware that some paths, especially away from the river, can become muddy or even flooded. The mixed terrain includes natural paths, asphalt, and gravel, so wear appropriate footwear. You'll find sections like the Beccles Marsh Trail are designed for easier access if you prefer a shorter stroll. Consider the weather conditions before you go to ensure a comfortable hike.
This loop is a segment of the much larger 93-mile Angles Way, a long-distance trail that largely traces the River Waveney between Great Yarmouth and Thetford. Along the route, you can discover historical elements such as the medieval Worlingham Wall, an ancient flood defense, and an Iron Age causeway. For a unique break, you have the option for a short excursion to the well-regarded Geldeston Locks Inn. The trail's dynamic atmosphere offers everything from peaceful countryside to livelier sections along the river with boats and holidaymakers.
