The Angles Way is a diverse long distance trail that begins close to the coast at Great Yarmouth and follows the meandering valley of the River Waveney into the Brecks. The opening stretch covers the length of Breydon Water, an enormous RSPB Reserve to reach the Roman remains at Burgh Castle. Beyond that the trail passes the beautiful village of Somerleyton into Oulton Broad where the banks of the River Waveney are followed for over 10 Miles. The historic towns of Bungay with its medieval castle and the town of Harleston are passed through to eventually reach Diss. Just beyond the source of the River Waveney is passed at Lopham and the Little Ouse valley picked up and followed west to Knettishall Heath and beyond into the ancient town of Thetford. Here there’s a chance to visit the impressive Norman Castle and Iron Age Fort earthworks and the sensational priory ruins.

The Angles Way is a lovely 96 mile long distance trail from Great Yarmouth to Thetford, exploring the Southern Broads and The Brecks.
Britain’s wild spaces are commonly thought to exist only in places like the Scottish Highlands or the Lake District but with more recent wilding projects in the lowlands you can actually find plenty of places that give a sense of wilderness and still be only a few miles from civilisation.
My name is Joe Jackson and I have spent many years exploring both the lowlands and uplands of Britain and want to share my experiences with you, through film, print and online media. I have a true love for mountains and moorlands and consider the Lake District as my spiritual home but enjoy walking in almost any part of the country. I have recently started to walk my local Long Distance Waymarked Trails, producing films showing the route and also self published guidebooks to aid fellow walkers on their journey through Britain’s wilderness.
