About

Thurlton, Haddiscoe and Geldeston sit in South Norfolk along the River Waveney and its navigation channels. The river forms the working spine of the area, with Geldeston Lock and its weir managing water levels on the Waveney and supporting river traffic. Haddiscoe Cut provides the short canal link that lets boats move between the Waveney and the River Yare without taking a longer tidal route. The surrounding landscape is low-lying floodplain with grazing marsh, reedbeds and willow-lined banks that frame fields and pasture close to the river channels.

Transport and everyday life are tied to the waterways and the railway. Haddiscoe railway station remains a stop on the Norwich–Lowestoft line, offering rail access alongside river moorings and public footpaths. Local activity ranges from mixed farming to small-scale boating, fishing and riverside walking. Village centres provide community facilities and village lanes lead down to river banks and lockside paths, making the waterways both a working resource and the main focus for recreation and access in the area.
