The Rivers Yare and Waveney are two of the Broads' great rivers, along with the River Bure. Here, these two great watercourses meet, flowing into Breydon Water. Around 2,000 years ago, this would've been part of the Great Estuary, a vast estuary with extensive mudflats. In Roman times, boats would've been able to sail down the Yare as far as Caistor St Edmund and large ships would have been able to follow the Waveney all the way to Bungay. The nearby Roman fort at Burgh Castle was built to protect this important waterway.

This pretty medieval parish church has nave walls dating back to the Saxon era and even features Roman tiles, thought to have been taken at some point from the nearby Roman fort. It's Grade-II listed and features a fine, crenellated round tower. The church is just a short walk away from where the Rivers Waveney and Yare merge into Breydon Water.

Seen across the confluence of the Rivers Yare and Waveney, Berney Arms Mill is an impressive sight. One of the tallest mills in the national park, it's also one of the best surviving. If the sight of it has you plotting a walk on the opposite side of the rivers, you might consider the Wherryman's Way long-distance trail, which visits the mill.

The Reedham Ferry Inn enjoys a tranquil riverside spot next to Norfolk's only operating chain ferry. As well as good food and drink, there's also a campsite with various facilities, including electrical hook-up, toilets and showers. The chain ferry runs continuously on an on demand basis.

Something of a Reedham institution, Cannell's by the River is a farm shop, deli and patisserie. As well as serving excellent food, Cannell's sells local produce, such as jams, chutneys, fresh meat and cheeses. It's the perfect place to stock up on supplies before walking adventures in the Broads.

There's been a swing bridge here since Victorian times but the current Reedham Swing Bridge dates from the early 20th century. It carries the Wherry railway line across the River Yare, one of the great rivers of the Broads. Incredibly, the bridge is opened around 1,300 times in a normal year.

Friendly local deli and cafe in a scenic and peaceful waterside location. The sausage roll, coffee & cake were very welcome for my mid-ride stop.
