Ludham Bridge

WILLOW FEN was built in the 1960’s and has recently been given a calm and contemporary refurbishment.

It’s location is extraordinary, within the very depths of the Norfolk Broads Conservation area and yet within 2 minutes walk of a wonderful Cafe and Bistro, THE WAYFARERS, together with a shop, art gallery and craft shop.

If you can tear yourself away from the amazing Norfolk Broads, the relatively unknown vast sandy beaches of Waxham, Sea Palling and East Somerton are within 30 minutes drive... Norfolk's diversity exemplified!

Willow Fen is ideally situated for a variety of country pursuits, it is perfect for bird watching, fishing, walking, cycling, boating and canoeing. The area is also very popular with artists.

Boat Hire and Cycle Hire can easily be arranged just next door to the house. With rural, uninterrupted views to front and rear, and being situated beside the River Ant, this great house offers almost everything!

LUDHAM BRIDGE is a popular mooring, just above the point where the River Ant flows into the River Bure. Boat related trade grew at the bridge named after the village of Ludham to the east of it. Ludham itself is a pretty village, known for its pretty cottages and its proximity to the Broads. It has a pub The Kings Arms and the lovely Al Fresco Tearooms.

Ludham and Potter Heigham Marshes was declared a National Nature Reserve in 1987 and covers an area of 83 hectares. There are lovely walks along the river and across the grass marshes.

Close to Ludham Bridge is the How Hill Estate now a study centre and charitable trust. 365 Acres of attractive and unique Broadland landscape and an Edwardian Thatched Mansion.

In nearby Horning the children will absolutely love Bewilderwood or perhaps a visit to the Radar Museum at Neatishead

Discover the boats of the Broads and how people's working lives shaped the landscape and visit The Museum of the Broads.
