It dates back to the 13th century and is believed to be one of the oldest surviving bridges in Norfolk. Potter Heigham Bridge is a popular spot for tourists and boaters exploring the Norfolk Broads. During the boating season, it can get quite busy with vessels navigating through the narrow arch, making it a fascinating sight for visitors.

Well worth looking round this exceptional very old church

St Edmunds Church is A medieval parish church with a 13th century chancel, a 14th century tower and nave, and some 15th century windows. The church was restored in 1853. In the mid 17th century Richard Ferrer was buried here in an ox hide and horns in order to confuse future historians! It is also open to the public most days and has won open church of the year for several years.

This is a medieval bridge which crosses the River Thurne. It is incredibly low and very difficult to navigate. Built in the late 14th century, it prevents a lot of boat traffic traffic from reaching further upriver.

if you are interested in bird spotting bring your binoculars. Many waterfowl use these scrapes particularly in the winter. Typically teal, widgeon, gadwall, lapwing, shelduck, shoveller, little egret, cormorant, tufted duck, geese and swans. If you are lucky you may see the resident bitterns, great egrets or cranes.

In the winter months this area can become quite water logged. Remember to close any gates behind you to ensure the Konik Ponies don't escape when they are in the reserve.

Be aware that this area is rife with ticks in the summer months so check yourself and any pets over thoroughly when you leave.

Good birding spot. Heard the bitterns but they were hiding.

Nice spot for a break. Busy boating hub. A few cafes, dull looking pub and a strange retail outlet
