Picture 22 - Horsey Mere.

HORSEY MERE. This Broad is nearer than any other to the sea, being about a mile distant from the sand dunes, which more or less effectually repel the vagaries of the North Sea, though at intervals these encroachments are a source of danger. The dunes stretch for many miles along the coast, being kept in constant repair to prevent the ravages of the north-east gales which frequent this coast during the winter months. This mere is reached by ascending the Old Meadow Dyke from Heigham Sound, there being no other outlet or inlet. Its waters abound with fish, while there is ample scope for sailing.
