Description of Acle from Broads.co.uk:
Known as the “Gateway to the Broads”, Acle is a great stop off point en-route to Great Yarmouth, with plenty of moorings and places to eat and drink at Acle Bridge. While there is plenty to keep you entertained here, make sure that you take the time to visit the main market village of Acle, located about a mile from the bridge, for its shopping, flourishing atmosphere and rich history. The surrounding countryside is also a wonderful place for a walk.
At Acle Bridge, boaters are greeted by a long bank, offering the ideal place to moor. This is the site of the annual Acle regatta, which sees dozens of traditional yachts competing in May, but otherwise is the perfect place to sit back and admire the scenery!
The best way to take in the open views of wild marshes is to stretch your legs and make the most of a wonderful network of footpaths both above and below the bridge, including the Weavers Way long-distance footpath. A circular walk along the River Bure to Upton and across the fields to Acle village is a favourite with locals.
Full of historic charm and a great place to stock up on supplies, a visit to the bustling market village of Acle is well worth the mile-long walk along a pleasant roadside footpath. It boasts some very attractive 17th and 18th century buildings and Acle’s star attraction, St Edmund’s Church, which dates back to the 13th century and wows visitors with its turreted round tower and thatched nave.
There is no shortage of amenities, including a supermarket, butcher’s and a bank, as well as cash points, a post office, hardware store, newsagent, restaurants, takeaways, cafes and pubs, plus a library, chemist, doctor’s surgery, opticians, vets and train station. A small market is held every Thursday morning, with a live auction of household furniture and decorative items.
The River Bure is one of the most popular and widely-known rivers on the Norfolk Broads, which is a fascinating network of interconnected lakes and rivers in eastern England. It is said to be the most visited of all the waterways in Norfolk, and draws canoeists, yachters, and pleasure boaters from all over the world.
The River Bure is a relatively short river, measuring just under thirty miles in length. It begins at the picturesque village of Horning, where it flows out of the upper end of the long and narrow Barton Broad. From there, the River Bure meanders eastwards through the gently rolling countryside, passing through a series of picturesque villages and hamlets along the way, including Coltishall, Wroxham and Acle.
Eventually, the Bure empties into the North Sea at the bustling port of Great Yarmouth.
One of the most striking features of the River Bure is its huge expanse of reed beds and marshes, which are home to a wide variety of aquatic birds and animals. These include everything from water voles and otters to kingfishers and marsh harriers. The river is also famous for its pretty watermills, ancient churches, and historic windmills, many of which remain in excellent working condition to this day.
The River Bure is a truly magical place, offering visitors the chance to explore some of the most breathtaking and unspoilt countryside in England. Whether you choose to sail, paddle or fish your way down the river, this is one of the most unforgettable experiences you will ever have. So why not come and discover the beauty of the River Bure for yourself!
