About

Hoveton, Horning and Potter Heigham sit along the River Bure in the Broads of North Norfolk. Hoveton lies beside Wroxham and is served by Hoveton & Wroxham railway station, with Hoveton Hall Gardens and a series of broads and meres nearby that are reached by short boat runs. Horning unfolds along a winding stretch of the Bure with a staithe, moorings and a string of waterside pubs and boathouses that meet the river. Potter Heigham stands a little further downstream, where the village cluster grew around river trade and boatbuilding.

The river links the three settlements and shapes everyday movement: hire boats, fishing skiffs and day cruisers use the Bure as a working route. At Potter Heigham the medieval bridge creates a narrow passage for navigation and is a common point for boat traffic to queue and pass in turn. Reedbeds and grazing marsh fringe the channels, and lanes running from each village give access to footpaths, cycle routes and riverside staithe points used by locals and visitors alike.
