루담 주변 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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.

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.

Little gem of a pretty mooring, great little shop and boat hire

Lovely hidden gem with superb views, a great tea room and delightful gardens. There's also Toad Hole Cottage Museum by the River Ant, which offers excellent walks and has several windmills to admire. https://howhilltrust.org.uk/

In 1019, King Canute granted the manors of Horning, Ludham and Neatishead to a group of monks to establish an Abbey. One thousand years later, St Benet’s Abbey is still an iconic site for people visiting the area. Hailed for its beauty, serenity and history, the ruins are a must-see if you are nearby.

At just 17 miles (27 kilometres) long, the River Ant is one of the shortest, and narrowest, rivers in The Broads. Don't let its size put you off, though. When you hike along this divine stretch of the river, with sunshine reflecting in the crystal clear waters and the occasional boaters drifting past, it really is a slice of rural idyll. There are plenty of spots to relax along the banks, too.

Ludham is a quaint riverside village with delightful thatch cottages, a bustling little centre, and lots of things to see, including the church of St Catherine, which houses many ancient relics. There is a village pub, shop and cafe, making it a great place to stop for refreshments on a hike. You can access nearby Womack Water from the village via the riverboat, too.
