Reedham is a very old and interesting village, partly because of its
connection with the changing coastline since 418 AD and the parish church
of St. John the Baptist, where people have worshipped for over 1000 years.
From the south, via the B1140, the village can also be reached by a chain
operated ferry. Reedham is fortunate enough to have a railway junction
with connections to Norwich, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.
Reedham finds favour with many walking enthusiasts.
After visiting and admiring the east windows at St. John the Baptist
Church at the north-east end of the village, it is well worth
walking over the marshes towards Berney Arms and have a pint (closed
during winter) or take the new footpath along the river, which
takes you to the Ferry and reward yourself with a bite to eat,
watching the activity of the Ferry at the same time. At the RSPB
reserve at nearby Strumpshaw, one can, beside bird spotting, walk
along the river Yare enjoying the wide views over the marshes.
Then there are the other the other famous marshes at Halvergate
and Cantley. For shorter walks, Reedham itself offers plenty of
possibilities. For some serious walking you can follow the 35
miles long Wherryman's way along the river Yare which runs from
Norwich to Gt.Yarmouth or visit www.wherrymansway.net |

The waterlogged land either side of the winding river Yare offers a
home to the kingfisher, snipe, bittern and just on the other side of
Reedham, in Cantley, the sight of flocks of Bean geese can be watched
as they make the winter 'stay-over'. But of course, this National Nature
Reserve offers much more in the way of wildlife. During spring and summer,
when wild flowers are in blossom, it is exciting to watch the swallowtail
butterfly feed and watch the hunting of the Norfolk hawker dragonfly.
If you want a change from walking do bring your bikes if you can. We
will supply you with a variety of 'priceless' bike rides.
Reedham village has several pubs and they all do meals. . There is a
post-office, tearooms and we also boast a bus service to Yarmouth.
Riverside at Reedham
If you want to venture out of Reedham, we recommend you to visit the
small village of Ranworth. Climb the tower of St. Helens Church
and you are rewarded with stunning views over Ranworth Broads and countryside.
Once inside the church, please don't forget to look at the Rood screens
and afterwards make your way to the Visitors Centre for refreshments.
Next to the village of Ranworth is South Walsham, please try to visit The Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden. For a small charge you will enjoy this garden for all seasons.
