It winds its way downwards > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1358328 to the River Yare, following a woodland edge before it reaches the bottom of the valley and the reed beds growing beside the river > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1358349. A footbridge > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1358351 leads over a drainage ditch and a short walk > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1358355 leads to the river bank > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1358357. A narrow path flanked by dense vegetation follows the river from here onwards until it emerges by the car park on Bramerton Common. The Wherryman's Way > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1340030 is a 35-mile long distance footpath following the route of the Broads trading wherries between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. The route takes its name from the wherry – a large cargo-carrying barge whose black sails used to be a common sight on these waters. Ten circular village walks branch off this path along the way.
