Stalham sits on the edge of the Norfolk Broads, where water meets land and riverside paths stretch into open farmland. Though often passed by on the way to nearby boating hubs like Hickling or Potter Heigham, Stalham has its own charm — a working town with a traditional high street, local shops, and direct access to both countryside and waterway walks.
The Weavers’ Way passes just west of the town, continuing toward North Walsham through peaceful fields, lanes, and open countryside. While not on the trail itself, Stalham Staithe, located just east of the town centre on the River Ant, offers a quiet waterside spot for short walks or a rest-day stroll. The town also hosts the Museum of the Broads, offering insight into the region’s boating and rural history — a fitting stop for slow travel on foot.
