Horning is an ancient village and parish in the English county of Norfolk. It covers an area of 11 km² and had a population of 1,033 in the 2001 census. Horning parish lies on the northern bank of the River Bure south of the River Thurne and is located in The Broads National Park. For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of North Norfolk, although areas alongside the rivers and broads fall into the executive area of the Broads Authority.
The name Horning means the folk who live on the high ground between the rivers. Its history dates back to 1020 when the manor was given by King Canute to the newly founded Abbey of St. Benet at Hulme. The Bishop of Norwich, as Abbot of St. Benets, is still Lord of the Manor. Horning Parish extends along the south bank of the River Bure to Thurne Mouth and includes the ruins of St Benet's Abbey & St. James Hospital. St. Benet's Abbey is a Grade I listed building, and dates back to the 9th Century. The importance of the Abbey as a medieval place of pilgrimage is reflected in the medieval finds of two papal seals, that would have secured documents from the Pope.
The village of Horning is a very popular tourist destination within the Norfolk Broads, having attractions both around the village and surrounding areas. The village lies on the north bank of the River Bure, and has many waterside properties, pubs, shops, restaurants, tea-rooms, boat-trips as well as other features to enjoy. Horning is picturesque, and described as the prettiest village on the broads. The sights to see are: the River Bure from the landing stages, Lower Street, St. Benedicts Church and many properties with thatched roofs.
Following Lower Street to the east, leads to the school, marina, leisure centre, church and the old riverbank. North of Horning are the broads of Barton, Alderfen and Burntfen, and village of Neatishead. West is the popular area of Hoveton & Wroxham. East lies the quaint village of Ludham. To the south, across the river via the ferry, are Bure Marshes and village of Woodbastwick. Adjacent to the ferry, The Ferry Inn reopened in 2010 after a period of closure. The Ferry Inn was largely destroyed in a Second World War bombing raid by the German Luftwaffe on 26 April 1941, during which 15 bombs are believed to have been dropped on Horning and the surrounding area by a single aircraft. Most landed in the local marshes but one hit the ferry and one hit the Inn, where 21 of the 24 people in the pub at the time were killed. The Ferry Inn was open for business with a makeshift bar only three weeks later. Rebuilt in the 1950s, the pub was damaged again by fire in 1965.
Horning is home to Southern Comfort the Mississippi Cruise boat, which leaves from the staithe adjacent to The Swan Inn.
Outside the village centre is the popular Bewilderwood theme park, which was voted best large attraction in the East of England (2009), as well as having many other UK and International awards. Broadland Cycle Hire is located within Bewilderwood, from which there are many good cycle routes through rural areas to villages and broads.
Other local attractions nearby include Barton Broad boardwalk, Neatishead village, Ludham village, shopping in Hoveton & Wroxham. A short distance away are many beautiful beaches such as Waxham, Sea Palling and Winterton-on-Sea, as well as the more popular holiday destinations of Great Yarmouth and Cromer. The North Norfolk Coast is approximately 1hr away, which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Horning lies just off the A1062 road, which is a designated Rural Route. This Rural Route starts at Hoveton, passes through Horning, Ludham and ends in Potter Heigham. The nearest railway station is 'Hoveton & Wroxham'. Journey time to London is 2hrs 30mins, with trains every hour. The 12A bus connects Horning with 'Hoveton & Wroxham' station.

Vardy Family holiday on the Norfolk Broads 1965
The first of a collection of cine footage of the Norfolk Broads taken by the Vardy Family during the course of their boating holidays which span 20 years. This dates from 1965 when they holidayed aboard what looks like one of the Glitter/Glimmer of Light class of motor cruisers from Herbert Woods.
The cruise takes in the Upper Ant, Barton Broad and Ludham Bridge before the holiday group head down the River Bure, passing Acle Bridge, Stokesby and the Stracey Arms before stopping at Great Yarmouth Yacht Station. On the southern rivers, they film Reedham Quay, Haddiscoe before there is a brief glimpse of houses at Oulton Broad at the end.
Lots of lovely wooden cruisers and a nice little snapshot of Broadland in the mid 1960s.
Many thanks to Graham Vardy for donating the films to the Broadland Memories Archive. Thanks also go to Video Impact at Loddon for transferring this film to a digital format for me.
