쉬운 호닝 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

A little surprising to suddenly come across boats in the middle of the countryside. There's a nice little shop selling sweets, ice-cream and coffee (from a machine) as well as a pub.

Owned by the Norfolk Archaeological Trust, the ruin of St Benet's Abbey is an evocative sight. At the height of the 12th century, this monastery would have been a major force in the region. Today, the remains stand silent on the banks of the River Bure, testament to a former glory.

One of three official visitor centres in the Broads, Toad Hole Cottage is full of information regarding the national park. This delightful marshman's cottage was inhabited during Victorian times and has been left in its original state, allowing visitors to imagine what it was like to live and work here. You can also buy tickets for a local wildlife walking trail.

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.

Nice place to stop for a rest on the river bank by the windmill.

St Edmund's Church dates back to the 13th century, and has a 14th-century nave and tower, and 15th-century windows. In the mid 17th century, Sir Thomas Browne noted that a man named Richard Ferrer was buried here in an ox hide and horns to try and confuse future historians and archaeologists!

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.

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.
