Breydon Water-Gt Yarmouth 230411

Time this morning to pop into Asda, Gt Yarmouth, buy a picnic sandwich and then walk over Haven bridge and turn right to follow roads and then a path. This takes you past industrial buildings, some ghosts of their former past and then under the road bridge to walk along the southern side of Breydon water.
What a wonderful piece of Norfolk this is! I have always found this large stretch of water to be mysterious, special and enchanting. Guarded over by the black sentries of windmills who somehow allways seem to be watching.
As you walk out from Gt Yarmouth the sound of the town and traffic quickly recedes and you just hear birdsong and the wind. Magic. Looking across the water you can just see the Berney Arms windmill and pub in the distance.
I sat on the flood protection wall and enjoyed my picnic lunch.Fab!
If you get the opportunity take time to explore this special place.
