On the north wall is the best single surviving wall painting of the narrative of St Christopher in England. It was restored by a Professor Tristram in the 1930s. The giant figure of the saint bestrides the river opposite the south doorway, just as he does in dozens of East Anglian churches, but here his staff has become a club, and on either bank there are smaller scenes depicting events in his story as recorded in the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies compiled in the 13th Century which was hugely popular in the late medieval period as a source for art and storytelling. There are about twenty scenes here. Those to the west of the saint recall his life as a pagan before conversion, and these are mostly lost to us now. But on the east side the scenes are well-preserved, vivid and immediate in their clarity. They show the trials and tribulations he underwent in his life as a Christian, including the occasion on which two women were sent to tempt him in prison

Good place to stop for lunch during a long walk! Bench overlooking the wildflower meadow with apple trees, and a sundial to admire as well

Little dip down through the woods between Ranworth Broad and South Walsham Broad.

Simple food in a lovely setting. Not gourmet but not trying to be.

Lovely views from a beautiful church. The narrow spiral stairs and ladders aren’t suitable for very small children or those with mobility issues.

A gorgeous reserve in the heart of the Broads, Upton Broad and Marshes hosts several distinctive habitats. Its mix of alder carr woodland, fen, reedbed and grazing marsh makes it a haven for some of the region's most coveted wildlife, including the swallowtail butterfly. You might also see water voles, otters and a huge range of dragonflies, with over 20 recorded species.

Popular with boaters and nature enthusiasts alike, the village of Ranworth has plenty to offer. The floating Broads Wildlife Centre is just a short walk away along an enchanting boardwalk through reedbeds and woodland. St Helen's Church, 'the Cathedral of the Broads' offers a panoramic viewpoint from its 100-foot (30 m) tower. Meanwhile, there are the great food options of the Granary Stores and the Maltsters pub.

Managed by Norfolk Wildlife Trust, the floating Broads Wildlife Centre is a great place to visit to discover more about this beguiling region. Accessible via a charming boardwalk, the centre enjoys splendid views across Ranworth Broad. The wildlife here is majestic, with many seasonal birds, the iconic swallowtail butterfly during the warmer months and cormorants roosting in the twisted remains of dead trees. Osprey's have been known to visit Ranworth Broad in recent years too.
