The Weavers' Way runs from Cromer to Great Yarmouth. It passes through Hanworth, Aylsham, North Walsham, Worstead, Stalham, Potter Heigham, Thurne and Halvergate; it then crosses the marshes around Berney Arms and skirts the northern edge of Breydon Water where it shares the same route as the Wherryman's Way.[https://www.ldwa.org.uk/ldp/members/show_path.php?path_name=Weavers%27+Way+%28Norfolk%29 The Weavers' Way] on the LDWA website
The name Weavers' Way comes from the cloth industry that was once a major industry in the area before the Industrial Revolution.
At Cromer, the Weavers' Way links with the North Norfolk Coastal Path; at Great Yarmouth, it joins the Angles Way. Together with the Peddars Way, the trails form a circuit around Norfolk.
