About

From Aylsham to North Walsham and Bengate to Stalham, most of the Weavers’ Way follows disused railway line, making these sections a great off-road route for cycling or horse riding.

There are two separate cycle rides which can be enjoyed in either direction: 

Stalham to Bengate (4.5 miles | 9 mile round trip): This cycle route starts at the end of Stalham’s High Street and follows a disused railway line through arable farmland, heaths and fens. It also crosses the course of the disused North Walsham & Dilham Canal along the way.

North Walsham to Aylsham (6 miles | 12 mile round trip): This cycle route follows the route of a former railway, now dismantled, through quiet gently rolling farmland between the north Norfolk market towns of North Walsham and Aylsham. The route starts in North Walsham at the Station Road Car Park and finishes at Aylsham at the junction of Blickling Road.

For a longer ride, you can follow back lanes between Bengate and North Walsham to connect the two routes together.

There are also lots of opportunities to extend your cycle ride in this area. From Aylsham, you can pick up Marriott’s Way (following disused railways to Norwich via Reepham and Lenwade), the Bure Valley Path (which runs beside the 15 inch gauge Bure Valley Railway, heading to Hoveton and Wroxham via Buxton and Coltishall) or SUSTRANS regional route 33, which heads up to Cromer via Blickling and Felbrigg.

The Broads by Bike Route 7 (Stalham, Ingham, Honing, Worstead, Dilham), includes part of the Weavers’ Way and has two loops taking in the picturesque villages in the area totalling about 33 miles. See the Broads by Bike website for information and maps.
