Wroxham Broad to Barton Broad Wroxham to Ant Mouth the To Explore the Broads 2021 Saturday - Wroxham Broad to Barton Broad Wroxham to Ant Mouth The tour starts at the Norfolk Broads Yacht Club on Wroxham Broad. The first leg is relatively short and the river Bure is relatively wide, so a relaxed start to the tour. Leave the Yacht Club and aim for the opening on to the River Bure on the far right-hand side of the broad between posts marked 1 and 2. Keep on the main river unless you wish to explore Salhouse Broad which is off to the right just past some moorings on the on the left. Above is the entrance and the exit is marked by red posts. Follow the river to Horning for lunch at The Swan Inn. A space for us to take the boats out will have been kept clear to the left of the pub and to the right of Horning Sailing Club. Beware that the ‘Mississippi paddle boat’ may be moored by this grassed area as well. After lunch, launch the boat and continue along the river in the same direction. Look out for a sign to the mouth of the River Ant on the left-hand side of the river just past Horning Hall and turn left. Explore the Broads 2021 Page 1 of 4 Ant Mouth to Barton Broad Turn left off the River Bure The River Ant is narrower and winds through high reed beds. As you approach Ludham Bridge there are tight bends with boats moored on both sides. Immediately round the bends is the bridge – narrow but manageable with care. The river remains relatively narrow . You will meet motor cruisers some of whom may be inexperienced and taking the bends too widely on this narrow river. At one point there is a clear sign ‘Narrow River’ and there is a sharp right-hand bend taking you past the riverside properties of the village of Irstead. The river opens on to Barton Broad. Follow the green marker posts on the right. After about 1km the river goes to the right to Sutton and Stalham. Take the left fork, to the left of a triangular island, to Cox’s boatyard. Explore the Broads 2021 Page 2 of 4 Sunday – Barton Broad to Hickling Broad Barton Broad to Ant Mouth This is the reverse of the stretch of river rowed on Saturday afternoon. Row out of the cut from the boatyard and keep to the left-hand side of the broad but rowing in the channel. After 1km, there is a sign to the opening of the River Ant. The river is narrow through the village of Irstead and it winds along past How Hill where there may be a lot of boats moored. Proceed under Ludham Bridge and on the other side is a sharp bend to the left and then one to the right, with boats moored on both sides. The river bends round to the right just before it meets the River Bure. Turn sharp left on to the River Bure. Lookout for traffic going straight across this junction. Ant Mouth to Thurne Mouth and Thurne Dyke. The River Bure is much wider. A few hundred yards on the left are the remains of St Benet’s Abbey. Stay on the main river. When the River Bure turns right towards Great Yarmouth, turn sharp left on the River Thurne signed to Potter Heigham and Hickling. Lookout for traffic going straight across this junction. After 500m, after a wind pump on the left, get ready to stop for lunch at the wind pump on the right. Moor or lift the boats from the water at the entrance to Thurne Dyke. Explore the Broads 2021 Page 3 of 4 Thurne Dyke to Potter Heigham Turn right on to the river. The river is wide but will be busy. Stay on the main river and do not take the turning to Ludham. Follow the river until you come to the riverside chalets of Potter Heigham. Proceed under Potter Heigham Bridge which is narrow and you may need to pull your blades across a little. Give way to traffic travelling with the tide if this is flowing towards you. Potter Heigham to Hickling Broad Row in between the riverside chalets. The river opens out. You will approach Martham Boatyard with boats moored on the right. There is a fork in the river – take the left-hand fork signposted Hickling and Horsey. The river winds through high reed beds. There will be a sign on the right welcoming you to the Hickling Broad wetland area. Keep between the marker posts. The river forks again. Go to the left of the yellow and black marker post. Follow the green marker posts. The river narrows but at the wider points there are marker posts. The river opens out on to the main part of Hickling Broad. Stay between the marker posts. Sailing boats may be racing – give way to racing boats. Follow marker posts all the way to Hickling Broad Sailing Club at the far end of the broad on the left near the Pleasure Boat Inn.

  • Norfolk Through a Lens
    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

It is a summary of the full Broads Climate Adaptation Plan prepared as part of the UK National Adaptation Programme. To get the best future for the Broads and those who live, work and play here it makes sense to start planning for adaptation now. The ‘climate-smart’ approach led by the Broads Climate Partnership seeks to inspire and support decision makers and local communities in planning for our changing environment. It is supported by a range of information and help available through the Broads oCommunity initiative (see page 18).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ilBSTRAGT The Cromer Moraine forms a distinctive geographical region near the coast of the northern part of the County of Norfolk. A pro­ nounced characteristic of this region is the vridespread cover of heatb-land, far less extensive than in former times. This heathland appears in its turn to have developed from an original woodland cover which was destroyed by the depredations of man and his domesticated animals . It has been necessary first to delimit the region as accurately as possible and this has been accomplished by means of a detailed study of local topography and of well-sections. The earliest evidence of the location of heathland comes from tlie Domesday Survey and this has been confirmed by references to heathland in various other documents dovm to 1750. By the middle of the eighteenth century the new developments in agriculture^ or ’Norfolk Husbandry’ as it was called, became widely known and practised, resulting in this region in a greatly accelerated reclama­ tion of heathland; so that by the time of the Tithe Survey (183S-42) less than a hundred years later over 4000 acres of heath had been reclaimed.

  • Broads Water Quality Report: River Thurne 2015
    East Anglia Area (Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk) Broads water quality report: River Thurne 2015 Map showing the location of water quality sampling sites in the River Thurne and Broads. Broads water quality report: River Thurne 2015 Page 1 of 6 Status River: Water quality is good for dissolved oxygen, ammonia and nitrate. Broads: Nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen – including ammonia and nitrate) are not all meeting the national and international standards High nutrient concentrations have a negative effect on the ecology of the broads. Nutrient sources include internal release from sediments, diffuse sources and tidal mixing of water from downstream. It is estimated that 97% of phosphorus in the Upper Thurne Broads and marshes comes from diffuse sources such as agriculture, minor point sources and septic tanks. Ammonia levels fail the water quality standards in Horsey Mere where concentrations are noticeably higher than the other broads in the Thurne. This is because there is an input of ammonia to the broad from the surface drains via Brograve drainage pump. The water in the Thurne river and broads is brackish. This is caused by sea water percolating through the ground close to the coast which is then drawn through drainage pumps into the broads and rivers. Actions The water catchment around the Thurne is designated as a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. In this zone limits are set on when and how much nitrogen can be applied to agricultural land to reduce the amount of nitrate reaching the rivers and broads. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nutrient-management-nitrate-vulnerable-zones Following studies done in 2014, the dominant source of ammonia in the Brograve drain is believed to be from agricultural activity.
