Picture 25 - Staithe and Mill, Horsey Dyke.

STAITHE AND MILL, HORSEY DYKE. The Staithe is at the extreme end of the Broad. On its banks is an old windmill, by ascending which a good view of the surrounding country is obtainable. Quaint fenland cottages adorn the sides of the waterway. A sail down the dyke brings the visitor into Heigham Sounds, afterwards merging from Kendal Dyke into the main stream, about a mile from which is Martham Ferry. This ferry is composed of a large raft, kept in a recess on either side of the river, and floated across, reaching from bank to bank, when required. There is capital pike and eel fishing.
