Picture 03 - Yachting Staithe, Coltishall.

COLTISHALL the birthplace of white-sailed wherries is designated as one of the prettiest villages in Norfolk. In addition to containing some ancient houses with rounded gables, and an excellent church, the surrounding scenery is distinctly fine, the view here depicted being but one pretty spot of many in this neighbourhood. Excellent fishing is obtainable in this portion of the river, jack, though of small dimensions, being very numerous; while in the spawning season, bream head up here in large quantities. The first lock is just above the village, while on a by-stream stands Horstead Mill, a very fine specimen of the Norfolk watermill.
