Angles Way
The Angles Way is a 77 mile long-distance footpath following - approximately - the Norfolk/Suffolk border between Great Yarmouth and Knettishall Heath. It is mostly a gentle walk, and has plenty of accommodation and other services. There is also plenty of services further afield for those wishing to explore the area around the Angles Way.
The RambleFest Angles Way pages are intended for anyone who loves the countryside and wishes to find accommodation, camping, pubs, restaurants, camping shops and public transport on or close to the long-distance footpath.
To make use of these pages you do not have to walk the whole route, nor even part of it, but if you do, good luck to you.
Not only do we show you where to find accommodation and places to eat and drink (click in table below), but we show the guidebooks and maps required, and make them available to buy online.

Angles Way Accommodation
We have split Angles Way accommodation into Hotels & Inns and Bed & Breakfast. We use the word Inn in its true sense of a pub which provides accommodation, rather than just a romantic name for a pub. Guest House accommodation is included with Bed & Breakfast. While we realise many guest houses are better than some hotels, in order to avoid confusion we have opted for the simpler option.
We are always looking to improve our information, and welcome accommodation recommendations.
Angles Way Restaurants and Pubs
We have attempted to give as much information as possible on pubs and restaurants along the Angles Way, especially regarding pubs serving real ale and/or food. However, restaurants and pubs are notoriously changeable. Please let us know if our information is out of date.
Angles Way Guidebooks & Maps
We have greatly improved our Ramblefest-Amazon store and made it very easy to find the books and maps required for your walk. Please click on the Map image to be taken to the relevant guidebooks and maps for the Angles Way, many other outdoors books and maps, and the option of buying them online.
There are many, many other guidebooks and maps in our store. Take a look!
Angles Way Forum
We have added a forum for those wishing to place or gain additional information or opinion on the various aspects of the Angles Way long-distance footpath. Angles Way Forum.
Angles Way Public Transport
There are not many train stations along the Angles Way, but there are plenty of bus services. Great Yarmouth, of course, has good transport links but Knettishall Heath is a disappointment, but we have included Thetford information.
