Couldn't have chosen a more beautiful Summer's day for a relaxing walk down the canal. Pottered around looking at all the boats, swans and pretty little canal side gardens. The secret shop is just absolutely fantastic too 😀 What a wonderful place it was so relaxing ❤️
Just had a great week on White Emblem. From the initial booking to sadly having to reluctantly say goodbye the whole experience with Ferry Marina has been fantastic. Every single member of staff we met were extremely friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. The hand over was informative and delivered at an appropriate level taking in to account the previous boating experience we've had. The fleet is extremely well maintained and everything worked as it should have done. In my opinion by far the best boatyard on the broads and I've used all of the northern ones. Highly recommended and we can't wait to see you again soon.
Really nice walk especially on a warm day. If you cross the bridge onto the side with with road it makes for a nice walk if you have a wheel chair or pram. Along the edge there is a boat that has been turned into a cafe that I would recommend nice friendly staff and lovely to just sit by the canal with a drink. Also a little shop by the canal that sells dog ice cream really good for dog walkers also.
Nice place to walk at the side of the canal, Nice boat caff that does fantastic homemade food
Nice peaceful spot for a drink and a bite to eat. Value meals on offer frequently.
