The town is on the North Walsham and Dilham Canal, which is privately owned by the North Walsham Canal Company. The canal ran from Antingham Mill, largely following the course of the River Ant to a point below Honing. A short branch canal leaves the main navigation near Honing and terminates at the village of Dilham. The name Walsham derives from the Old English walhshām meaning 'Walh's village'.
