A 4.5 mile circular pub walk from the Wherry Inn in Geldeston, Norfolk. The Wherry Inn is a classic village pub and a great place to enjoy a bite of lunch after your walk. The walk is a fantastically varied route with something for everyone. It heads out alongside the banks of the River Waveney to reach the nearby village of Dunburgh. From this point the route follows a mixture of quiet lanes and field paths to visit more local settlements and several of the impressive halls and churches along the way. The route has just a few steady slopes and follows mostly unmade paths, many of which (including the fields) can get very muddy after rain and in winter. There is one tall stile on route which has gaps underneath which medium dogs should be able to squeeze under, but large dogs may need a lift over (our standard poodle just managed to squeeze underneath). You will also need to negotiate a few flights of steps and several kissing gates (a couple of which are quite tight). One of the fields you cross may be holding horses so take care with dogs. There are a couple of sections of road walking along country lanes so take care of any traffic at these points. Approximate time 2 hours. |

Geldeston is located close to the Norfolk-Suffolk border, about 2 miles north-west of Beccles. The walk starts and finishes from the Wherry Inn pub on The Street, which has its own car park. Approximate post code NR34 0LB. |

Walk was lovely until we reached rectory road crop field had no path so we followed where other walkers had walked through crop field could not find marker at the other side of field so we had to go through thick nettles to the main A143. We crossed but could then not enter the next part of the walk so had to walk along the edge of the A143 (dangerous) until we could find a country lane. Good job we had GPS on our phone so we could find our way back to the Wherry Inn which was wonderful.☹️ |

As previous comments, very difficult walking through the mud by the river and crossing unmarked fields. |

River overflowing path into field on left. Needed to turn back and miss out river part. Would recommend giving it a miss in the winter after heavy rain. |

Previous comments spot on! Also struggled over unmarked and unsigned path over potato field to Rectory Lane and similar field of long grass at Geldeston Hall. |

Lovely walk, however some parts very overgrown with nettles. Long trousers recommended! |
