Simple food in a lovely setting. Not gourmet but not trying to be.

Lovely views from a beautiful church. The narrow spiral stairs and ladders aren’t suitable for very small children or those with mobility issues.

Popular with boaters and nature enthusiasts alike, the village of Ranworth has plenty to offer. The floating Broads Wildlife Centre is just a short walk away along an enchanting boardwalk through reedbeds and woodland. St Helen's Church, 'the Cathedral of the Broads' offers a panoramic viewpoint from its 100-foot (30 m) tower. Meanwhile, there are the great food options of the Granary Stores and the Maltsters pub.

Managed by Norfolk Wildlife Trust, the floating Broads Wildlife Centre is a great place to visit to discover more about this beguiling region. Accessible via a charming boardwalk, the centre enjoys splendid views across Ranworth Broad. The wildlife here is majestic, with many seasonal birds, the iconic swallowtail butterfly during the warmer months and cormorants roosting in the twisted remains of dead trees. Osprey's have been known to visit Ranworth Broad in recent years too.

Sometimes referred to as the 'Cathedral of the Broads', St Helen's Church commands a fine position overlooking the Bure Valley. It's possible to ascend to the top of its almost 100-foot (30 m) high tower to gain a magnificent viewpoint across the surrounding countryside. A patchwork of verdant fields and waterways stretches away, with most of the northern rivers and broads visible on a clear day.

Very scenic spot, ideal for a cafe stop. Granary Stores shop and cafe is open 8.30-9pm 7 days a week!

Nice cafe with car park & public toilets. Also small marina with boat hire & a place to launch for paddle boarding & canoeing

On this stretch of the River Bure you can see two examples of drainage mills, Upton Mill and Oby Drainage Mills. The mills pump water from the dikes out to tidal waterways to keep the land free of water. This is now done by electrical pumps but the windmills remain an iconic feature of the landscape.

The only monastery in England not officially shut down by King Henry VIII during the reformation, the Bishop of Norwich remains the Abbot of St Benet's Abbey to this day. The 14th century gatehouse and 18th century mill are easily identifiable from the ruins.

Fleet Dike links the River Bure with South Walsham Broad. There is a footpath along its eastern edge between the Boat Yard and the ruins of St Benet's Abbey.

Ranworth is a picture postcard village in the heart of the Broads alongside Ranworth and Malthouse Broad just off the River Bure. The village has moorings, a pub and village store and the church is known for exceptional views once you have climbed the tower, with a huge area of the Broads visible from the top. The National Trust has a floating Broads Wildlife Centre that is reached by a boardwalk from the village and has a panoramic vista across the water. .

Great place have a break, several public benches &picnic tables, drinking water tap (intended for boaters but available to all), cafe and shop.

Run by Norfolk Wildlife Trust - free entry to the floating wildlife centre well worth a visit. https://www.norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk/wildlife-in-norfolk/nature-reserves/reserves/ranworth-broad-and-marshe

Lovely old church - when the tower is open there are commanding views from the top (donation recommended). Website https://www.ranworthchurch.com/

Terrific mid-route stop - The Maltsters pub was open for us during lockdown, serving takeaway pizza and drinks (coffee and bottled drinks - we had cider!). The adjacent shop looked like it had normal village shop stuff, including ice cream. Car & bike parking at this spot, and can sit by the river or on the picnic benches. Also toilets, though I'm unsure if these were open for lockdown or not. The boardwalk looked interesting to walk around, however, this was closed on the day we went, for lockdown...

South Walsham Broad is a beautiful place to be. With the sounds of birdsong and gently lapping water blowing in the wind, it is a serene lake that is perfect to stop and take a moment at.
