Southern Waters

We woke to rain this morning but the forecast said it should ease up as the day went on – joke!! We set off for Cantley – somewhere we’d never visited before – and the sugar factory …

We parked up and donned waterproofs ready to walk Hamish and hopefully find the river but the rain got heavier so we returned to the RV to get dry. We then moved on to Reedham where we knew we could park by the river and watch the boats.


It was all very quiet until lunchtime when there was a flurry of activity and a large yacht moored up in front of us …

After lunch we drove round to the ferry – another first for us – and crossed the river …


The road then took us towards St Olaves where we crossed back over the river and looked down to find several narrowboats moored up on New Cut …

Our next port of call was Oulton Broad where we parked in our usual car park by the Nicholas Everitt Park and took Hamish for a walk.

It’s really quite pretty with weeping willows ...

plenty of wildlife ...

and a lovely view of the Broad …

We ended by driving round Lowestoft and back to the road to Norwich crossing Breydon with the tide out …
