Picture 12 - Horning Ferry.

HORNING FERRY lies between Wroxham and Yarmouth, on the River Bure, and supplies the means of communication between the quaint villages of Woodbastwick on the one side, and Horning on the other. The picturesque old inn, with thatched roof, shown above, is a favourite calling-house for the steamboats, which ply to and fro in summer-time, and hundreds of yachting parties moor and refresh the inner man. Amongst other notabilities, Clement Scott and Mark Twain have drawn inspiration from the quietude of their rural surroundings, and G. R. Sims has probably philosophised on the degeneracy of the human race while halting at this old riverside hostelry.
