Thanks, Duncan. there are plenty of fascinating cemeteries like this one in London. My favourites are Kensal Green and Abney Park.

A timely and evocative piece about an easy-to-miss corner of old London. More people should get out to Bunhill Fields.

A part of the route I haven’t done exactly although I did do a bit round Loddon. I love that church. Crow Country is a wonderful book and I have been to see the big roost. Lovely area and very low key really.

Suddenly got warm here too, but not any green. Love the british sheep with black faces and old churches.

That’s ok Laurence. Clearly this is an important route for walkers so we’re doing as much as possible to publicise its closure. We are usually able to provide a temporary diversion close to our working corridors but due to the railway on one side and the estuary on the other are unable to do so here. There is an alternative route using a footpath that spurs off at the western end of the closure, but this involves crossing two railway lines and the A47 before linkng in with a path that comes into Yarmouth through Runham. We’re not therefore actively promoting or signing this but people who can read an OS map can make their own decision. What we are promoting is the use of the train betweeen Reedham/Berney and Yarmouth.
Berney to Yarmouth is a great section and the first lengh of bank that the Project “improved” in 2002/03. The “Land of the Mills” site at Seven Mile House is fascinating – wind, steam, diesel and a modern electrical pump all in the one location. There’s usually an open day each year and they will also arrange access for group visitshttp://www.nationalmillsweekend.co.uk/pages_wind/polkeys.html
If you want more of the same then Reedham to Cantley has a railway station either end plus 4 pubs to choose from! All the best, Jeremy

Thanks very much for helpful input, Jeremy. The BFAP link is really useful. It is good to hear that there will be some new pools and reedswamp created when the Yarmouth end of the route reopens in October.
Of course it should be Reedham – I have corrected now – I always get those two mixed up. I did, in fact, walk the next section betwen Berney Arms and Reedham this Sunday – a lovely walk with sunshine and spring weather for a change.
Thanks again for stopping by, Laurence.

Wonderful description of a route that I know well (business and pleasure). Details of footpath closures (including maps showing alternatives) along the Broadland floodbanks this year at http://www.bfap.org/news.html You may have to “refresh” the page to make sure that it states “Footpath closures for April 2013″ in the download box. The section of Wherryman’s Way that is closed at Langley (“compartment 20″) should be open by July. The length at Yarmouth won’t re-open until October but will have a wider crest and grass protection mesh. We’re also working with the RSPB to create some new pools and reedswamp on Railway Marsh (the area of land sandwiched between the floodbank and railway), which will be of benefit to walkers.
One typo – “Reepham” should be “Reedham”

Well you will have to prioritise somewhere, Martin . Looking at your website it seems you’ve been pretty busy. Like you, I really want to walk the area around Stamford and Rutland sometime. Hats off to you for doing it in winter. All the best, Laurence

It’s hard to know the future of the pub – I fear a sanitised gastropub aimed solely at the yacht trade. You are right about other sections being closed too – I think there is also a diversion somewhere near Loddon. Laurence
