Potter Heigham Bridge

Highlight • River

Potter Heigham Bridge is an iconic bridge spanning the River Thurne in the village of Potter Heigham.

It dates back to the 13th century and is believed to be one of the oldest surviving bridges in Norfolk.

Potter Heigham Bridge is a popular spot for tourists and boaters exploring the Norfolk Broads. During the boating season, it can get quite busy with vessels navigating through the narrow arch, making it a fascinating sight for visitors.

Scenic lunch spot but not really very bike-oriented: gravel and no bike parking, although there are outdoor picnic tables.

Ranworth is a picture postcard village in the heart of the Broads alongside Ranworth and Malthouse Broad just off the River Bure.

The village has moorings, a pub and village store and the church is known for exceptional views once you have climbed the tower, with a huge area of the Broads visible from the top.

The National Trust has a floating Broads Wildlife Centre that is reached by a boardwalk from the village and has a panoramic vista across the water.

Highlight • Pub

Great place to start and finish a circular ride of the northern broads or further afield without having to fight your way out of the city on the main roads.

Can do varied loops from here round the broads, and even use the Horning Ferry to cut a ride short and be dropped back here.
