Confluence of the Rivers Yare and Waveney

Highlight • River

The Rivers Yare and Waveney are two of the Broads' great rivers, along with the River Bure. Here, these two great watercourses meet, flowing into Breydon Water. Around 2,000 years ago, this would've been part of the Great Estuary, a vast estuary with extensive mudflats.

In Roman times, boats would've been able to sail down the Yare as far as Caistor St Edmund and large ships would have been able to follow the Waveney all the way to Bungay. The nearby Roman fort at Burgh Castle was built to protect this important waterway.

View of Berney Arms Mill

Highlight • River

Seen across the confluence of the Rivers Yare and Waveney, Berney Arms Mill is an impressive sight. One of the tallest mills in the national park, it's also one of the best surviving. If the sight of it has you plotting a walk on the opposite side of the rivers, you might consider the Wherryman's Way long-distance trail, which visits the mill.

Burgh Castle Roman Fort

Highlight • Historical Site

Burgh Castle is the best-preserved Roman monument in East Anglia. During the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, the fort was one of a chain sited at intervals around the coast of southeast England. During its long history, the fort has also been the site of a Norman castle and an early Christian monastery. The remains of the fort itself are in the guardianship of English Heritage and the site is free to enter.

Saint Peter & Saint Paul Church, Burgh Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

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.
