The sources of rivers are rarely impressive to the eye but the source of the rivers Ouse and Waveney is well worth seeking out, particularly if you’ve been walking the Angles Way, which the Waveney in particular is the centrepiece of.

The B113 crosses the rivers at the East Anglian watershed and here you’ll find marshy ground which is the location of the Ouse source, flowing to the west, and the Waveney source, flowing to the east.
