Reedham is a Broads village on the River Yare, roughly 8 miles south-east of Church Farm Barns. It is known for its chain ferry — one of the last in England — and its position on the Wherryman's Way walking trail.
About Reedham
Reedham sits on a bend of the River Yare and has a distinctly Broads character. The chain ferry carries cars across the river (one of only a handful still operating in England). The village has a riverside pub, a train station, and sits on the Wherryman's Way long-distance path. The surrounding marshes are excellent for birdwatching, particularly in winter.
Things to Do
Take the chain ferry across the River Yare. Walk sections of the Wherryman's Way — the stretch from Reedham to Berney Arms is particularly atmospheric, crossing remote marshland. Visit the Ferry Inn for food and drink by the river. Watch for marsh harriers, wigeon, and pink-footed geese in winter.
