Buckenham Marshes is a wetland habitat located in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The marshes are home to a diversity of animal and bird species, and are especially known for their large flocks of wintering wading birds, including lapwings and golden clovers.

Buckenham Ferry Drainage Mill was built in the 19th century and played a vital role in draining the marshes for arable land. It stands tall overlooking the stunning landscape of the Norfolk Broads and makes a lovely spot to stop and explore on a stroll along the river.

Ideal cafe stop on a ride. Very nice food. My tuna baguette was delicious! A couple of outdoor tables, and room to lean two or three bikes on the side wall. Check opening times on Google Maps.

Standing in isolation, overlooking marshes to the north-east, with a few pine trees round it, the setting of St Mary’s is memorable. There is no village with the name Fishley, only Fishley Hall is close by. The west part of the nave and the lower part of the tower were built in flint at the same time in the 11th century, but the top section of brick with the stone belfry openings was probably rebuilt in the 16th or 17th century. Lower down the earlier openings in the tower have also been infilled with brick. These 14th century bricks might have been re-used from the earlier Hall, to the north-east of the Church. Many of the windows in the church were changed in the 19th century, as well as the tower roof from a cone shaped one to have a parapet, the south porch was added then, and the steeply-pitched slate roof, which also covers the aisle (called a cat-slide-roof!). The porch iron gates were placed here in 2009, with A M, for Ave Maria. More: https://www.roundtowerchurches.net/norfolk/norfolk-c-g/fishley-2/

These tall reedbeds are good to explore throughout the seasons. Great for all ages too. Worth noting that it could get muddy throughout wet periods, particularly in the winter.
