The magnificent medieval church was first documented in 1369; the detached tower was completed in 1540. It is not located in the usual location because the builders apparently had concerns about placing it too close to the cliff. It is said to be open in the summer and can be climbed. Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson's parents were married here in 1749; his father had previously been a vicar here.

Past all the moored river cruisers, looking across towards the park. There are a couple of cafes to stop at if you're minded.

Quayside cafe serving paninis, sausage rolls, cakes & coffee etc. Seating is on outdoor tables. Opening hours are 10am-4pm but are weather-dependent so only a place for a fine day.

Nice views of the cruisers on the Waveney although the road pinches as it crosses the bridge so you can't stop to admire them.

After you cross the bridge it looks like private land but it’s totally fine and a public footpath

Running over the old iron bridge you will be treated to boating views along the River Quay. A stone bridge crossed the river before but it was too narrow for newer, grander boats to pass under so this was built as an upgrade in 1884.
