[1] Leave the station yard by crossing the iron suspension bridge in the SE corner across the River Bure. There are several information boards at this point which is the junction of the Weavers Way, the Werryman's way and the Angles Way. Turn right along the road and follow it as far as the Haven Bridge on the right hand side. Over the bridge turn right just before the Haven Bridge Hotel along a street. Where Steam Mill Lane bears round to the left take the narrow footpath straight ahead. Carry on ahead along Critters Road and continue along a path to a tarmac road. Turn right and then right again to follow the path beneath the Breydon Bridge. This structure can be raised to allow tall ships to pass underneath.
[2] The path now follows the edge of Breydon Water along the Angles Way for the next 3 miles.
To the right the pleasure boats follow the channel of the River Yare whilst the broad tidal mud flats provide a feeding place for birds. Bird watchers will enjoy the many ducks and geese as well as Herons, Warblers, Cormorants and Skylarks. To the left the marshes rely on pumps for their drainage. A brick pumphouse about halfway along the path is the modern replacement for the windpump, the derelict stumps of which are scattered on the skyline. The marshes are home to numerous wild flowers and butterflies.
The mud flats of Breydon Water narrow where the River Yare turns south and divides. The Yare turns west towards Norwich whilst the Waveney heads south towards Beccles. Eventually the path reaches the Church Farm Country Club and enters a wooded area.
[3] Pass through a gate and immediately turn right along the edge of the wood. In about 200 yards climb the wooden steps on the left. At the top turn right and carry on ahead to the walls of Burgh Castle.
(A) The castle dates from AD 280. The massive walls of the Roman Castle are present on three sides of the original seven acre rectangular enclosure, the fourth wall has either fallen away down the steep banks of the River Waveney, or been deliberately undermined as part of a Later Norman fortification. Layers of red tile reinforce the original flint Roman walls. The solid round bastions are a later addition built as reinforcement. Leave the castle ruins through a gap in the south wall and turn left onto a path between the walls and a hedge. At the end of the field turn left and follow the path to the church. This is one of Norfolk’s round towered churches which was almost certainly thatched at one time. At the church turn right along the tarmac road. In 500 yards the Queens Head Inn welcomes weary walkers half way along their route.
[4] Continue along the road to a point where it bears sharp right (a mile from the church). Turn left down the farm track and then right towards Crow’s Farm. At the farm go straight ahead through a gate and then left alongside the hedge to a stile. Follow the path along the next field with the hedge to the right. Continue straight ahead towards buildings amongst trees. At the farm buildings turn left down a track and almost immediately right and in a few yards turn left and right again. At the edge of the industrial area turn left along a track. Follow the path on the right keeping the perimeter fence on the right as far as a footbridge leading onto the busy road. Turn left and in less than 100 yards cross the road to enter a footpath opposite, between factory sites.
[5] At a tarmac road turn right and then left into Boundary Road. Continue along the road through the industrial estate and cross the footbridge.
The scenery here is in sharp contrast to the earlier part of the walk and reflects the importance of shipping and oil exploration to the town.
Continue ahead to a road junction. At Bollard Quay turn Left and continue past several sets of traffic lights to the Two Brewers Hotel. Turn right to cross the Haven Bridge and turn left to retrace the route back to the station.
