Picture 02 - Coltishall Lock.

COLTISHALL LOCK, with its keeper’s house and garden, is a very pretty spot, its charm of colour, foliage, and flowers which abound round about, together with the swirl and gleam of the sunlit water, combining a brilliant piece of scenery. Typical Norfolk cottages and gardens hereabouts also indicate that even the busy artizan of the boatyard finds leisure to acquire a taste for floriculture, masses of beautiful foliage and flowers growing with wonderful luxuriance in the serviceable turfy soil. Coltishall, a busy picturesque little village with Hautbois on the one side, and Belaugh Church on the other, is accessible by rail from Norwich, being the next station to Wroxham.
