Just some photos I took while on holiday on the Norfolk Broads.

Berney Arms Windmill.

The High Mill at Berney Arms, standing at the head of Tile Kiln Reach is one of the highest in the Norfolk Broads and can be seen for miles around. Thought to have been built in the latter half of the 19th Century, probably around 1870, the mill was erected to grind cement but was more recently used for draining the surrounding marshes. The large scoop wheel outside the tower is evidence to this use.The mill itself is just over 70ft (21m) high with the span of the sails being approximately the same.

St Peter and St Paul Church at Burgh Castle.

Horsey Windpump.

A magnificent Windpump. This five storey windpump was built in 1912 to pump water out from the surrounding land so that it could be used for agriculture. It was operational until 1943, when it was hit by lightning.

Potter Heigham Bridge.

This is where lots of people really do mess about on the river – a delightful village on the River Thurne. Here yachts have to lower their sails to navigate beneath a picturesque 13th century hump-backed bridge. The village is known as the capital of the Broads.

Pleasure Boat Inn at Hicking.

Hickling Broad.

Ferry Inn.

Horning Ferry and the Ferry Inn are downstream on the left bank. Like at Reedham there was once a chain ferry here, now only a small dingy operates. The opposite bank is popular with Anglers, as this reach is good for Bream, Roach and Pike. The Ferry Inn has an extensive river frontage.

Horning.

Downstream towards Horning Ferry, one in particular Lodges is designed like a windmill.

Horning.

Horning is said to be one of the most picturesque villages in the Norfolk Broads. Many of the properties in the village are thatched with traditional Norfolk reed.

Swan Inn at Horning.

The only sailing boat I saw that day on the Norfolk Broads.

Swan and her cygnets on the broads.

Wroxham Broad.

Wroxham Bridge is a semi-circular road bridge and has only 7ft 3in headroom at average high water. The bridge is probably the most difficult to navigate after Potter Heigham Bridge.
