Beccles is a picturesque town on the edge of the Broads. The old iron bridge (built 1884), crossing the River Waveney offers great views of the boats moored up at the quay.

Of all the bridges I've ridden over this is definitely one of them!

Running

Running over the old iron bridge you will be treated to boating views along the River Quay. A stone bridge crossed the river before but it was too narrow for newer, grander boats to pass under so this was built as an upgrade in 1884.
