A ninety-year-old boatyard on the Thurne at Potter Heigham hiring cruisers, day boats and picnic boats, plus riverside cottages and apartments. Dog-friendly boats are a stated part of the fleet and there is a pet-friendly boating holiday option. The medieval bridge just downstream is the reason so many boats stop short here.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The rooms that take dogs, and where they sleep.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
What a night actually costs, so nobody has to ring to find out.
How many dog-friendly rooms, whether they are ground floor, where the dog sleeps.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Five miles in two and a half hours, entirely flat, along the Thurne to the quiet reed-fringed water of Martham Broad and back through Repps with Bastwick on lane and field edge. It starts at the free parking beside Potter Heigham old bridge and follows the river wall east; the ground is grass and can be genuinely wet underfoot from November to March, so boots rather than trainers. Dogs are fine under effective control on the public rights of way, the Broads Authority asks for leads all year near farm animals and a short lead on open access land from 1 March to 31 July, and the river banks are unfenced with a strong tidal flow.
Six and a quarter miles and three hours on the Weavers' Way, a stretch of green lane and the raised grass bank above the Hickling marshes, with reed cutters' dykes and marsh harriers most of the way. Start at the free public parking beside the old bridge at Potter Heigham, behind the chandlery, which is the recognised trailhead and rarely full outside August; the village has no other sensible parking. Norfolk Wildlife Trust allows assistance dogs only on the Hickling Broad reserve and in its visitor centre, but dogs may use the public right of way through it and must be on a lead on all the other paths, and the dykes are deep with steep sides.
Nobody has written one for Herbert Woods. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
