On the road between Wroxham and Ludham, the popular riverside village of Horning offers a range of local amenities, including shops, a primary school, riverside pubs and restaurants, and numerous boatyard facilities. The Ferry Inn serves traditional pub food and carvery meals, with a large riverside garden and customer moorings.

Standing on the River Bure, Wroxham is around three miles (an 8 minute drive) by road and shares many attractions with neighbouring Hoveton. Whether on the water or enjoying the busy pubs and restaurants, there is something for everyone.

The Bure Valley Railway, which opened as a heritage railway in 1990, begins its journey in Wroxham. Steam and diesel trains run the 18-mile round trip through Norfolk countryside to Aylsham.

Beyond the immediate charm of the Broads, a 25-minute drive southwest brings you directly into the heart of Norwich City. In the opposite direction a matching 25-minute drive takes you to Norfolk’s most spectacular sandy coastlines. Whether you seek the soft sands and dunes of Sea Palling, the dramatic, iconic landscapes of Happisburgh, or the peaceful, seal-watching havens of Winterton-on-Sea, the ultimate coastal lifestyle is right on your doorstep.
