Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, a watercourse - natural or artificial - could simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of the natural elements, for example to grind grain into corn or to press oil from fruit. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

Short route for an acoustic and emtb hardtail to tryout bags. Start anywhere in the thorpe area on the way to woodbastwick Fur and feathers pub for a beer. Mainly cycle ways with farm double track between Honeycombe and salhouse road. Rode down to the Salhouse Broad and back.

Very scenic landscape looking out towards Filby Broad.

Lovely views as you cross over the bridge, and plenty of cafes and refreshment options on the north bank.

It's thought that there had been a mill here since at least Saxon times. The 18th-century incarnation of Horstead Mill was once one of the most photographed in Britain, a fine sight on the River Bure. However, it burned down in 1963 and, today, only the lower parts of the building remain.

Closed Sunday to Tuesday, and only open until 3pm Saturday.

One of Norfolk's many ruined churches. Seems surprisingly common for the tower to be the only thing left.

The home of the famed Woodforde's brewery, with an immaculate pub and beer garden next door.

Free parking available at the village hall

Horstead watermill was burnt down in 1963 and all that remains is the lower section of the mill building. It was one of the biggest and most photographed mills in the country.

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.

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.

Lovely cakes

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.

lovely spot for a stretch, also looks like a good spot to wet a line!

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.

A great place to stop and enjoy the views of all the activity on the river. Plenty of options for refreshments, or a choice of benches on the village green if you have brought your own with you.

The ruin of All Saints Church, is a landmark in Panxworth. From three of the sides you might think that the remains are simply a 14th century century tower, but the eastern face has a Victorian archway set against it, giving a clue to it's former history. After being declared redundant in the 1970s, the church was demolished and the 14th century tower was left in isolation.

Ferry doesnt start until 11am and finishes around 5pm

The Galley is a superb bakery situated directly behind the green shown in the photographs of the road which runs parallel to the river. Be sure the visit when in Horning!
