Summary
The Weavers Way is a long-distance footpath in Norfolk, England. It is 62 miles (100 km) long and runs from Cromer to Great Yarmouth, passing through Hanworth, Aylsham, North Walsham, Worstead, Stalham, Potter Heigham, Thurne, and Halvergate before crossing the marshes around Berney Arms and skirting the northern edge of Breydon Water, where it shares the same route as the Wherryman’s Way.
The name Weavers Way comes from the cloth industry that was once a major trade in the area before the Industrial Revolution. At Cromer, the Weavers Way links with the Norfolk Coast Path, and at Great Yarmouth it joins the Angles Way. Combined with the Peddars Way, the trails make a circuit around Norfolk.
