Norfolk Broads - Horsey Windpump

 
The largest of the Norfolk Broads and one of the most beautiful is Hickling Broad, with the nearby old Horsey Windmill (windpump). The best starting-point for an exploration of this area is Potter Heigham, going upstream on the River Thurne to Martham Broad, Horsey Mere and Hickling Broad, while downstream leads to the River Bure. From there it is possible to continue southeast by way of Breydon Water and the River Waveney to Oulton Broad outside Lowestoft, or westwards through a series of broads to Wroxham Broad and the village of Wroxham.

Must-see attractions nearby:
Potter Heigham (pop. 690) is usually less crowded than Wroxham. Other good centers from which to explore the Broads are Ranworth and South Walsham, small picturesque villages with interesting churches.
