Something of a Reedham institution, Cannell's by the River is a farm shop, deli and patisserie. As well as serving excellent food, Cannell's sells local produce, such as jams, chutneys, fresh meat and cheeses. It's the perfect place to stock up on supplies before walking adventures in the Broads.

There's been a swing bridge here since Victorian times but the current Reedham Swing Bridge dates from the early 20th century. It carries the Wherry railway line across the River Yare, one of the great rivers of the Broads. Incredibly, the bridge is opened around 1,300 times in a normal year.
