Narborough Bone Mill
Highlight • Monument
Hunched upon the northern bank of the River Nar, the now rusted waterwheel, canalised banks and stone grinding wheels of Narborough's Bone Mill serve as a picturesque reminder that Norfolk's past is more industrial than the pretty burbling river might otherwise suggest.
Situated equidistant between the villages of Marham and Narborough, this section of the Nar Valley Way makes for a pleasant out and back stroll that can be tackled from either village.
In the winter months, the bench facing the old waterwheel is a well-sheltered spot for a hot drink from a thermos, while in the summer months, it's a perfect table for two where the evening sunshine might be enjoyed with a little bit of cheese and a glass of wine.
If your adventures take you this way in the autumn months, be sure to bring a bag with you as the bramble bushes lining the route will be positively collapsing under the weight of those tasty berries!
