Check out Vera Britten's Blue Plaque on the house up the hill.

Lovely park by the board, lots to do, including, tennis and children's play park.

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.

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.

Nicolas Everitt Park is a popular public park situated along the shores of Oulton Broad, a large body of water that forms part of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads. Oulton Broad is known for its boating and watersports activities, and Nicolas Everitt Park is an excellent starting point for boaters to explore the surrounding waterways. You can enjoy picnics in the park's open green spaces while overlooking the scenic views of Oulton Broad. There's also a cafe in the middle of the park.

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!!!

Probably best to kayak there from Beccles.

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.

Of all the bridges I've ridden over this is definitely one of them!

St Andrews is a partially ruined church by the sea in the hamlet of Covehithe. An Anglican church, its ruins are grand and well worth seeking out – it mostly dates from the 15th century although there are older sections. In the 17th century, a smaller, cheaper-to-maintain church was built against the original tower, and this church is still in use today.

If you are collecting the the 4 corners of GB this one is a must. Don't blink or you will miss it!

Beccles is a picturesque town on the edge of the Broads. The old iron bridge (built 1884), crossing the River Waveney offers great views of the boats moored up at the quay.

This area becomes incredibly busy in the summer months with cars and vans double parked along the road in so be aware if you fancied driving then hiking or riding

Remains of a medieval church, partially demolished as the village shrank and replaced by a smaller thatched structure built within the ruins and attached to the original tower. Very unusual.

Most easterly point in the UK

There is plenty of parking along the road - just remember to pull enough off the road to allow tractors to get down the road. The church is worth a walk around to explore the old ruins

Lovely cafe for a coffee

Absolutely lovely place to take the girls to, with a great play area

Beccles is a wonderful boating town on the edge of the Broads and this charming old iron bridge offers pretty views of the boats moored up at the quay. Beccles Old Bridge was built in 1884 to replace a stone bridge and to allow wider boats to pass beneath. The bridge itself is nice to look at but if you head onto it and look north you’ll see boats moored up just before the quay. Looking south, more boats line the riverside. The views are complete with the odd weeping willow, tickling the water’s surface.
