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.

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

Great view from the top of the ramp over the sea embankment, and plenty of refreshment options just below it.

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.

Free parking available at the village hall

Good family beach. Clean toilets. Lifeguard. Windsurfers further along to the right. Parking £1.50 per hour August 2023.

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.

Potter Heigham Bridge is an iconic bridge spanning the River Thurne in the village of Potter Heigham. 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.

Things to know: First of all, it is a delightful walk. If you begin at Ludham Bridge, there are plenty of places to park along the road. They are free parking pull-outs, so you're not exposed to parking on a narrow street. There is a bakery and public toilets. Although the walk parallels the river, you're not really next to it, except for a couple of spots. Nonetheless it's still very picturesque. Most of the path was easy to navigate accept for one short stretch where the tall grass had obscured the trail. It was very short, and if you look to your left, you'll see the posts of a short bridge, so just aim for that. At about the halfway point is How Hill Estate. It's rather a dramatic building with a thatched roof. Unusual for a building that size. I think you can get a room there if you're not from the area. There's a large lawn there, a place to watch the boats and, most importantly, public toilets and take-away café. It can be busy on the weekends so pick your day. Although we were there on a Sunday in July and it wasn't bad. Then it's back the way you came. FYI The Dog pub is just a short, safe, walk up the road from the start/end of the walk, in case you're interested.

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.

Only reachable by boat across the River Ant, Turf Fen Drainage Mill is an attractive 19th-century windmill. It was built to drain the marsh behind it so that livestock could graze on the land. It has been restored by the Norfolk Windmills Trust, after falling out of use in 1920.

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!

Sea Palling is a quiet village, with a beach that offers swimming in waters calmed by man-made coastal defence reefs.

Built in 1790, Happisburgh Lighthouse is the oldest working lighthouse in East Anglia and the only independtly-run lighthouse in the UK.

Great beach, dog friendly too

A couple of shops serving food too.

The place isn't Coltishall wier it's Horstead Mill

If you follow the coastal defence South there are seal colonies to be found, particularly at Horsby.

Nice place to cool off your feet on hotter days. A few small shops selling ice creams, hot doughnuts and bucket and spades!
