You will enter a really beautiful stretch of the river Waveney. Keep an eye out for wildlife: herons, king fi shers, marsh harriers, otters and barn owls can all been seen along this stretch. ê After approximately half an hour, on your port side, you will see two magnifi cent houses with really beautifully landscaped gardens that fi nish at a purpose built jetty and a boat house that often has a beautiful traditional river cruiser moored. ê A little further along you will come to the Beccles old railway bridge and it is best to steer through on the port side. ê Continue on your journey and you will see some stunning scenery for the location and pass by lots of famous reeds in the river (remember to keep the boat out of these as you don’t want to get stuck). Cont... Day Boat Trail cont... 2 Arrive at The Waveney River Centre, Burgh St Peter After approximately 1:45, you will see the entrance to the Waveney River Centre, where you can steer in and moor up. Remember the river is tidal so leave plenty of rope for the boat to go up or down. Waveney River Centre is a multi-award winning 5-star holiday destination. The park is set in beautiful surroundings with fabulous views across the Norfolk & Suffolk marshes and a wealth of on-park facilities. Visit The Waveney Inn, a popular riverside pub & restaurant, Eddie’s Pool & Café and the Mariner’s Stores, as well as the kids’ playground and wildlife garden. Waveney River Centre offers boating holidays, self catering lodges and camping. Day cruisers, canoes and kayaks are available to hire, or you can take the ferry across to Suffolk and walk alongside the river, through Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve or into the nearby town of Oulton Broad. Waveney River Centre has been awarded David Bellamy’s Gold Conservation Award for the past 10 years and has won numerous tourism awards. For more information call 01502 677343 or visit www.waveneyrivercentre.co.uk At the Waveney River Centre, you can stop and enjoy a pub lunch or a drink at The Waveney Inn and the children can let off some steam in the play area. ê Keep an eye on your watch. If you leave by 2:15 you will have plenty of time to reverse the trip back to Hippersons Boat Yard. ê When you reach Hippersons, instead of turning back in to the yard, continue upstream on the River Waveney, passing under the Beccles low bridge. Immediately you are in what locals like to call the ‘Back Gardens of Beccles’. All of the houses have gardens leading down to the rivers edge, all with their own distinctive character and really interesting to see. The eagle eyed amongst you will notice the remains of where the old railway bridge which used to cross the river. ê You will glide smoothly past Beccles Lido and the Beccles Rowing Club, before its time to turn around and meander pleasantly back to the old bridge and turn into the yard at Hippersons.

Herald of the Night, Sir J.A.Arnesby-Brown Why is this area special? This is a vast area of largely drained marshland which lies to the south of the Rivers Yare and Waveney. It traditionally formed part of the parishes of Norton (Subcourse), Thurlton, Thorpe and Haddiscoe along with a detached part of Raveningham. It would have had a direct connection to what is now known as Haddiscoe Island, prior to the construction of the New Cut which connected the Yare and Waveney together to avoid having to travel across Breydon Water. There are few houses within this marshland area. Those that exist are confined to those locations 27 where there were, or are transport links across NORFOLK the rivers. The remainder of the settlements have 30 28 developed in a linear way hugging the edges of the southern river valley side. 22 31 23 29 The Haddiscoe Dam road provides the main 24 26 connection north-south from Haddiscoe village to 25 NORWICH St Olaves. 11 20 Gt YARMOUTH 10 12 19 21 A journey on the train line from Norwich to 14 9 Lowestoft which follows the line of the New Cut 13 15 18 16 and then hugs the northern side of the Waveney 17 Valley provides a glorious way to view this area as 8 7 public rights of way into the middle of the marshes LOWESTOFT 6 4 (other than the fully navigable river) are few and 2 3 1 5 far between.

Introduction 1.1 Lound and Ashby, Herringfleet & Somerleyton are adjoining parishes in the north of Suffolk. The area is rural, with much of the land being used for agriculture. The main settlement areas are the villages of Somerleyton and Lound, with smaller settlements at Herringfleet and Ashby, together with some scattered farmhouses and converted farm buildings or farm workers’ cottages. The two parishes have a combined area of around 2020 hectares, and a total population of around 780 (2011 census). 1.2 Early in 2016 the two parish councils agreed to work together to develop a joint neighbourhood plan. A steering group consisting of residents and Parish Councillors was set up to lead the work. 1.3 One of the initial pieces of work was to agree and gain acceptance from the former Waveney District Council (now East Suffolk Council) and the Broads Authority for the designated Neighbourhood Area.

  • The Origins of Geldeston Lock: Act (2) 1656-1670 Let’S Get Rich by Digging! Read the Story All the Way Through
    The origins of Geldeston Lock: Act (2) 1656-1670 Let’s get rich by digging! Read the story all the way through. If there are words you don’t know look them up in a dictionary. Then think about the questions and make up your play. The sources of the Waveney and the Little Ouse rivers are North sea less than 100m apart, at Redgrave/Lopham - eight km west of Diss. The Waveney flows east into the sea at Great Kings Yarmouth, and the Little Ouse flows west and eventually Lynn Great into the sea at Kings Lynn. Norfolk Yarmouth It isn’t possible to go by boat from one river to the other, but they are separated by less than 100 metres. Suffolk In the 1660s Francis Matthew has the idea of creating an inland waterway for boats, to run all the way from Yarmouth to Kings Lynn. He wants to dig out the channels of the River Waveney and the Little Ouse and link them together where they both begin. He thinks: He presents the plan to Oliver Cromwell in 1656. Oliver Cromwell is the leader of the Army that set up Parliament and cut off the head of King Charles I. Cromwell is very busy with very important things. Nothing happens. He tries again in 1670. By this time England has a king again, as well as a Parliament. He presents the plan to King Charles II. A bit happens. Why only a bit? The whole plan is far too expensive and too difficult, but one part of it does get done.
