The Beccles Marsh Trails are a series of circular walks ranging from 1 1/2 to 4 miles
following the river Waveney part of the way before crossing the marshes and finishing
back in Beccles.

The walks all start at Beccles yacht station.

Yachtsman, anglers and walkers all enjoy the river.

Surely someone must know which is the right way to go.

How the white sails show up against the dark sky.

How nice in these troubled times with the foot and mouth epidemic to see a field of
sheep grazing peacefully. Luckily Suffolk has been spared what the rest of the country
has be going through and has not had a single case, hopefully the rest of the country
will soon be able to see scenes like this again.

How nice in this age of speed to only be able to travel at a sedately 6 mph.

Such an absolutely idyllic place to live when the only things passing your front door
are boats travelling at 6 mph.

A tunnel of trees and bushes, the paths very slippery here due to all the recent wet weather.

At this point we turn away from the river and follow the path across the marsh back into
Beccles.

The path widens into a track as it gets nearer to Beccles.

And so we arrive back at Beccles yacht station, and only just in time if the darkening skies
are anything to go by.
