Rollesby Church and Horsey Windpump

Another lovely sunny morning so Hamish and I set off for the church at Rollesby.  I didn’t think I had any ancestors here but just wanted to visit the church …

From here we moved on to Horsey and parked in the National Trust car park at the mill.  We walked around the top of the dyke and down the far side until we reached the view point for the Mere …

In all the years I’ve been visiting the Broads I’ve never been up the Mill until today!  I left Hamish attached to the steps at the bottom and began the climb to the top.  Each level had interesting pictures and information …

At the top I ventured outside which was quite a major feat for me as there were gaps between the slats and I don’t normally do heights where I can see the ground through the floor!  I’m glad I managed it though as the view was fantastic …

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back inside again and the descent began.  Hamish was waiting patiently for me – he’d been a bit vocal at the start but had quietened down as time went on.  There was no way I’d have got him up these steps though …

The workings at the bottom and more pictures …

 

 

 

 

 

It was now lunchtime so we found a bench and sat by the dyke …

There were clouds building so we returned to the car and began the journey back to the site.  We had to stop at Potter Heigham for a quick pop into Lathams and then a walk to the river …

There’s some work going on to improve the area above the bridge and look who is moored here – Sally!
