Weavers' Way / 90 km / 56 miles

"Use is made of public footpaths, disused railway line and some minor roads in passing through very varied scenery, from the mixed farmland and woodland of the north to the extensive, traditional grazing marshes of the Broadland river valleys.
Notable landmarks to be seen along the Way include a number of fine flint churches, several large country houses, and a large number of wind-pumps.
Parts of the Paston Way which visits 16 churches and villages over a meandering and convoluted route in north-east Norfolk can be used in linking Cromer with North Walsham." (source: Long Distance Walkers Association)
