Not too far from the town centre either . Very handy car park

With its impressive fleet of vessels, Eastwood Whelpton is a classic Broads boatyard. Located on the edge of the village of Upton, it connects to the River Bure via Upton Dyke. Nearby is the beguiling sight of Palmers Hollow Post Mill, one of only two 'Hollow Post' drainage mills remaining in the national park. For a walk rich in wildlife, it's just a short stroll to Upton Broad and Marshes nature reserve from here.

Closed Sunday to Tuesday, and only open until 3pm Saturday.

Ideal cafe stop on a ride. Very nice food. My tuna baguette was delicious! A couple of outdoor tables, and room to lean two or three bikes on the side wall. Check opening times on Google Maps.

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/

When we passed through in early spring, we were amazed at the amount of Mute Swans on the surrounding farmland. On several occasions, groups of swans flew over to land in Upton Dyke and the River Bure. There is a small car park that is free to use.

These tall reedbeds are good to explore throughout the seasons. Great for all ages too. Worth noting that it could get muddy throughout wet periods, particularly in the winter.

You can access the recreation field via a footpath to the left of the Recreation Centre. You can also access via the right hand side of the building if you wish, but the other side is closest to the nearest footpath
