Picture 30 - St. Olaves Reach.

ST. OLAVE’S REACH. This pretty stretch of water is situate about a quarter of a mile from Haddiscoe station, and within a mile of the famous Fritton Decoy. On its banks are a few prettily grouped residences. It is a sylvan retreat held in much esteem by riverside excursionists. From here there is an enchanting walk or drive to Somerleyton Hall, the magnificent residence of Sir Savile B. Crossley, Bart., M.P., one of the greatest attractions of the neighbourhood. The route lies along sweet country lanes, bordered with wild apple-trees and over heather-clad commons. Somerleyton is a model village, with quaint-looking thatched cottages and luxuriant gardens.
