The River Wensum is a chalk river flowing from Whissonsett to the River Yarr in Norwich. In the early 2000s, the river was in a state of decline due to siltation and pollution. Since then, improvement works have been undertaken to better the river quality.

There's a pleasant riverside rest spot just next to the bridge on the east bank, overlooking a pool in the river between the bridge and a small weir.

There's a smooth and peaceful road parallel to the shoreline, away from the pedestrians on a separate waterside path.

This is an enjoyable section of running around the beautiful Whitlingham Great Broad lake. The lake has a shared-use path that spans the entire circumference, offering panoramic views and great bird-spotting opportunities.

When I visited on a sunny April day, the river here was full of a couple of families paddleboarding and swimming, looked like a nice wild swimming spot. There's a good clearing by the bank to set up on or take a rest too.
