About the day
This sailing begins at South Walsham, a beautiful Broad with picturesque views seemingly a hundred miles from the rest of the world. Heading out of the Broad we join the River Bure by St Benet's Abbey, which was a thriving monastery in the 12th Century. We continue upstream in the direction of the tiny village of Ranworth, home to Ranworth Broad Nature Reserve and the beautiful medieval church known as the Cathedral of the Broads. Look out for otters and kingfishers as we turn in the Ranworth Broad. We return to the Bure and sail downstream to join the River Thurne and sail to the village of the same name with its iconic white windmill.
Please park beside or in front of the Methodist Chapel, The Street, Thurne. NR29 3AP. The minibus will collect passengers at 9.15am and take them to South Walsham ready for sailing at 10am.
