Good cafe. Pickles were an aside. Points of interest. Take it or leave it.

I'm sure they're great but not really what you'd call ride food.

Quintessential traditional country pub, in a lovely village setting with a nice pub garden behind and some more seating to the front.

Scenic crossing of the Waveney between Norfolk and Suffolk.

Nice views of the cruisers on the Waveney although the road pinches as it crosses the bridge so you can't stop to admire them.

One of the few remaining Anglo-Saxon churches with round towers

Chedgrave common occupies the northern bank of the River Chet to the east of Chedgrave village. It's a tranquil place for a stroll and is home to various plant species. The early marsh orchid is a particularly beautiful sight when it flowers in May and June.

Of the Broad's six rivers, the Chet is the smallest and is navigable for just 3.5 miles (5.5 km). It's a tributary of the great River Yare, which it joins to the west of Reedham. The Chet flows between the market town of Loddon and the village of Chedgrave, beyond which is Hardley Flood, an expanse of tidal lagoons and reedbeds that provides an important habitat for nesting birds.

Run by lovely people but then I am biased. Their family

The Locks Inn occupies a riverside setting at the end of the navigable section of River Waveney. Having almost closed down in 2020, today it is a community-run establishment with over 1,500 shareholders! It serves a range of good pub grub and roasts on sundays.

The Wherry Inn is a great option for a pitstop on any walk in this part of the Broads. It serves traditional English pub food and has a range of refreshments available too. In summer, you can enjoy drinks in the courtyard and beer garden, while in winter there's the option of getting snug and warm by the open fire.

After you cross the bridge it looks like private land but it’s totally fine and a public footpath

The Locks is a waterfront pub so watch the little people by the river

This is a marvelous pub and huge garden its web site says The Locks Inn is a remote riverside pub at the limit of the navigation on the River Waveney on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. It is also accessibly via a long track from Station Road in Geldeston. The track is rutted and needs carful riding BUT its well worth the effort. In 2020 it was put up for sale by auction at very short notice and its future as a pub looked in serious doubt. But the community pulled together and managed to purchase the pub and set it up as a Community Benefit Society. Almost 1600 people are now shareholder members of this iconic pub giving it the widest ownership of any pub in the country. The Locks is is a family friendly pub with good food, quality ales from local breweries and a wide range of musical events. Good range of beers and zero alcohol lager on draught - which is unusual. Tea and coffee avaivable all day from 12 noon. We did not try and food but looks traditional pub fayre 12 to 2 pm. Interesting history of the lock and navigation on the river on an information board. Free mooring if you use the pub for you boat types. One not to miss just because its so unusual, so remote but so busy!!!

Tea and cakes whats not to like

As of 2023 Rosie Lee’s tea room is no longer there. We believe she is located further down the road at the Angel pub.

Probably best to kayak there from Beccles.

This "Footpath" can get used quite heavily by mountain bikers so be aware. Their generally a good bunch though 👍🏻

Running over the old iron bridge you will be treated to boating views along the River Quay. A stone bridge crossed the river before but it was too narrow for newer, grander boats to pass under so this was built as an upgrade in 1884.

Back in 1986, a hoard of 51 Saxon coins and a Saxon brooch were found in Barsham Marshes by the river bank. An excavation of timber posts dating to 75BC has also taken place in the area.
