What is the Wherryman’s
Way?
The Wherryman’s Way is in the Broads –
Britain’s largest protected wetland. This installation is
one of a number along this 35-mile recreational route following
the course of the River Yare between Norwich and Great Yarmouth.
The route takes its name from the wherry – a large cargo-carrying
barge whose elegant black sails were a once common sight on these
waters.
You can walk the whole route or explore parts of it
by cycle, train and river bus. Alternatively you can explore one
of the ten circular village walks en-route. Look out for the unique
waymarkers along the route, which include figures, sculpture, information
panels and audio points.
