The old Station at Whitwell, great stop spot, cafe, and facilities.

The River Bure is a navigable river which flows into Breydon Water in Great Yarmouth. Coltishall bridge about 10 miles inland is the head of navigation, the furthest larger boats can get.

As of 9th May 2023, parts of Marriotts Way north of Drayton are a total mudbath and only suitable for MTBs. The surface coming into Norwich is worn out and bumpy but at least dry.

Nice scenic place to pass by rather than a place to stop, a little room at the side of the road but mostly fenced off.

Good, friendly place to stay.

St Edmund’s church in Taverham has an unusual outer appearance with its thatched chancel which looks slightly higher than the nave. The tower here has 11th century origins, with a lower, west slit window having a flint frame. Higher up on the south side is a stone-framed window, which indicates later 11th century work. It is reported that there was a lightning strike in 1459, causing much damage to the tower, nave and chancel. More: https://www.roundtowerchurches.net/norfolk/norfolk-s-y/taverham-2/

On the former Midland and Great Northern Railway, Hellesdon was once a bustling station. A rural line, it was part of the railway mania that swept the national, causing ranch lines to crop up all over the place. The line was closed in the 1980s and now serves as part of the Marriotts Way cycle and footpath. The trail is named after William Marriott, the manager of the line for over 40 years.

Take snacks and repair equipment, some of the road is steeper than you expect, but the payoff is great

A church has stood here since at least 1086 when St Edmund's was mentioned in the Doomsday book. This Grade-I listed church is thought to be pre-Norman. It has a striking round tower, which almost makes it look like a castle.

Running 24.6 miles (39.5 km) from Norwich to Aylsham, the Marriott's Way is a great traffic-free path open to walkers, cyclists and horse riders. It follows the route of the railway which ran here until 1985. The path is made up of different surfaces so expect mud if it's been raining.
