Welcome Walkers

Waveney River Centre is a haven for walkers, whether you're staying with us on Park or dropping in for lunch or coffee on your way along the Norfolk/Suffolk border.

A short walk along the riverbank gives you a feel for your surroundings and will be rewarded with sightings of numerous birds, dragonflies and butterflies.

Ternpike Ferry to Carlton Marshes

A 2 minute trip on our ferry service brings you to the edge of Carlton Marshes Nature reserve, with its circular walk and education centre. From here you can walk along the riverbank to the market town of Beccles (3 hours) or the village of Oulton Broad (45-60 minutes).

If you're visiting from the Suffolk side, hop across the river for lunch or a coffee - or maybe take the kids for a swim. If you're a hardcore rambler on the Angles Way, our campsite makes an ideal waypoint on your journey, where you can make an overnight stop and take advantage of our luxury showers. Our pub, shop and launderette may also help you on your way, and we can provide breakfasts and packed lunches. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on our campsite (accompanied by well-behaved owners). Please make sure you book your pitch in advance especially at peak times.

Pathways in Stone

Waveney River Centre is located only a mile from Pathways in Stone - a journey of reflection around the parish of Aldeby, using limestone boundary markers carved with ancient runic symbols to celebrate the local identity and echo the history of the last millennia.

The stones echo the tradition of parish boundary markers and each is named and carved with ancient Christian symbols and Runic characters. The design elements of the outlying stones are all combined on the central 'Stone of Destiny'.
