A section of the Weaver's Way crosses at the end of Lock Road > Link - Link. A path leads southwards from here, to a footbridge over the disused Honing lock > Link and continuing alongside the canal > Link and through St Villier's Fen > Link until it reaches a pasture on Honing Common which it traverses > Link. This path leads to Honing Road > Link further to the southwest.

The North Walsham and Dilham Canal runs parallel to the River Ant from above Wayford Bridge > Link - Link to Antingham > Link - north of North Walsham > Link. The canal was built to carry grain and flour to and from the mills by wherry. The now disused Honing lock is the first lock on the canal; a crump-type weir is utilising the fall of the navigation lock.
