Horning

Horning is an ancient village in Norfolk, England within The Broads National Park. Archaeologists have found earthworks there.

It is situated on the River Bure (pronounced "Burr") between Wroxham and Ludham, and a ferry has been plying across the river for more than 1,000 years. The ferry may be gone, but the Ferry Inn is still there to remind us of it.

Horning is very popular with boaters, and sailing regattas take place regularly on this congested stretch of the Bure. Many boatyards have set up business here.

The 13th century church of St. Benedict lies half a mile east of the village, and the tall tower of St. Helen's Church at Ranworth can also be seen across the flat landscape.
