As we stroll from Potter Heigham along the River Thurne just past Candle Dyke we come across one of the many old windmills around here. This was described as a ‘drainage mill’ in our guide but it is now a prestigious holiday let. Surrounded by idyllic Broadland marshes and adjacent Hickling Broad where Nelson leaned to sail as a young man you can understand why a bench was placed here.

Have a great day.
