Nice pub. The road to Hales can get busy, and with the twist and turns its difficult to let cars past.

Great riverside location right on the Waveney by St Olaves Bridge. Easy access to the beer garden for bikes.

Butt Lane is not the busiest road on a Sunday morning, but during the week, as it is one of two roads out of Borough Castle, there's loads of traffic.

This pretty medieval parish church has nave walls dating back to the Saxon era and even features Roman tiles, thought to have been taken at some point from the nearby Roman fort. It's Grade-II listed and features a fine, crenellated round tower. The church is just a short walk away from where the Rivers Waveney and Yare merge into Breydon Water.

This is a gem of a pub nestled alongside the gorgeous River Waveney. The pub serves up delicious food and drink in a cosy, nautical setting - a must-visit if you're in the area.

Pretty bit of road through coastal woodland, and some welcome shade in warm weather.
