• Can dogs be off lead at Weaver's Way: North Walsham to Stalham?

  There's good scope for freedom on the long sections following the disused railway trackbed, where a long line works well if you're not ready to go fully off lead. That said, livestock does appear occasionally along the route, so keep dogs on lead where the path skirts arable fields or crosses quiet lanes to be on the safe side.

• What should I know before visiting Weaver's Way: North Walsham to Stalham with my dog?

  This is a point to point walk of around 12km, so you'll need to plan transport between North Walsham and Stalham, or be prepared to retrace your steps. There are no facilities along the trail itself, so bring water and snacks for both of you; pubs, shops and toilets are available at both ends. Low lying field edges can get muddy in winter, so boots and a towel for the dog are worth packing in the colder months.
