Tips

November 6, 2023

Hiking

Sometimes referred to as the 'Cathedral of the Broads', St Helen's Church commands a fine position overlooking the Bure Valley. It's possible to ascend to the top of its almost 100-foot (30 m) high tower to gain a magnificent viewpoint across the surrounding countryside. A patchwork of verdant fields and waterways stretches away, with most of the northern rivers and broads visible on a clear day.

Hiking

Lovely old church - when the tower is open there are commanding views from the top (donation recommended).

Hiking

Lovely views from a beautiful church. The narrow spiral stairs and ladders aren’t suitable for very small children or those with mobility issues.
