The village of West Harling was last inhabited in the 18th century. The parish church of All Saints is remarkably well preserved given the length of time since worshippers last flocked here. Keep an eye out for the interesting gravestone in the churchyard with the epitaph: 'Boast Not Thyself of Tomorrow; Thou Knowest Not What a Day May Bring Forth'.

Freehouses are usually a good bet for a lunch stop. Convenient location, if by a bit of a busy road.

Upgraded a lot in recent times with a large, partially covered decking area overlooking the water and a bicycle-shaped fountain in the lake!
