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.

The Rising Sun is a lovely riverside pub in Coltishall, which does excellent food, including wood fired Neapolitan pizzas. It also offers bed and breakfast accommodation, offering a pleasant basecamp from which to explore the wider Broads.

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

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!

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/

Coltishall Village Green is a beautiful green space situated on the River Bure in Norfolk. The relatively large space is a brilliant spot too while away time whilst perhaps enjoying a picnic or reading a good book in the warmer summer months. The river is a very popular spot for broads cruisers and inflatable canoes, kayaks and SUP's and if you fancy taking to the water yourselves all are available to hire via The Canoe Man website, www.thecanoeman.com The Rising Sun and Kings Head pubs are situated on the river at one end of the green to and serve good coffee if you happen to be an earlier visiter. This little gem should definitely be on your cycle or hiking route if you are visiting this part of Norfolk!

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

Perfect pub stop on the river

The Piece of Cake tea rooms near the end, tasty.

Lovely pub overlooking the Norfolk Broads, plenty of outside space, good food and drink, and sometimes ice cream van parked on the green in Summer.

A lovely down by the river pub, good size beer garden, plenty of options on drinks and food, places to sit and relax before heading to your next stop. Useful place to start a Tour of the Broads from

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