    I spent some time exploring the North Walsham and Dilham canal and as far as I can tell, the navigation went all the way up to Anthingham Mill, which stands on the bank of Antingham Ponds. I therefore think that your line can extend a little bit further west. See my blog for details:

    I think that the extreme northern section, beyond Bacton Woods was abandoned vary early on.

    the North Walsham & Dilham Canal ran to the foot of Antingham pond. the section from Swaffield was abandoned 1st and a formal abandonment was acheived
    the canal has 6 locks all in various states of repair
    Honing – cleared of tree growth but unusable
    Briggate – similar but has large hole in east wall
    Ebridge – intact but unuasble, bywash has a significant collapse
    Bacton Wood – being rebuilt by Laurie Ashton (canal’s owner from Ebridge to Swaffield
    Swaffield lower – very little remains of the chamber and it is in a very precarious state.
    Swaffield upper – presumed to be intact as it is 3/4 infilled but on inspection appears to be sound
    for more info please see
    East Anglian Waterways Association or the NW&DC trust’s websites
