The Weavers' Way runs from [[Cromer]] to [[Great Yarmouth]]. It passes through [[Hanworth, Norfolk|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]].<ref>[https://www.ldwa.org.uk/ldp/members/show_path.php?path_name=Weavers%27+Way+%28Norfolk%29 The Weavers' Way] on the [[Long Distance Walkers Association|LDWA]] website</ref>

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.
