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.

The Outlook for Tourism in North Norfolk
This is a 10-minute clip about the tourism industry in North Norfolk, United Kingdom, which was produced in 2008.
The Weavers Way, Norfolk - Second Leg - Acle to Potter Heigham
Week Two of us walking The Weavers Way across Norfolk from Great Yarmouth to Cromer, this second leg took us the circa eight miles from Acle to Potter Heigham along the Rivers Bure & Thurne with a small diversion off through the village of Thurne itself.

Hickling, Norfolk Broads, UK
SEE MY HISTORY PAGE ON FACEBOOK :
Hickling is a very attractive village on the Norfolk Broads, next to Hickling Broad which is the largest broad in the system. It is located quite close to the sea at Sea Palling. The village covers a large area with a very low density as can be seen in this film.
The Doomsday Book refers to the Village as Hikelinga, and mentions a Church being here - noting that Godwin, a free man of Edric of Laxfield' s, held Hickling before 1066.
Hickling Priory, some distance from the Parish Church towards Sea Palling, was founded in 1185. The Priory was granted a Charter by King John, in 1204, to hold a weekly market. The market took place near St. Mary's Parish Church for some five hundred years. (The Priory ruins are on private land and are not open to the public.)
The church was started in 1204 and can be seen in this film although much was added later.
In 1287 a flood engulfed the village, and 180 people were drowned. The waters rose 30cm above the high altar of the priory church. Less than a century later, in 1349, the Black Death struck. At the Priory only two of the canons were left alive, and more than half the population of the village must have died.
During the Middle Ages peat was dug from the marshes for fuel; the diggings later flooding to form the Broads. Hickling Broad, the largest and wildest of the Norfolk Broads, has for a long time played an important part in the social and commercial life of the village.
Agriculture has always been a major feature of rural life in Hickling, and it continues to be so today, though many fewer people now work on the land than formerly.
Both Stubb Mill, an important drainage mill, and Hickling Mill, near the Methodist Chapel, date from the early nineteenth century. Hickling Mill was described in 1819 as a handsome new mill. It had eight floors and three pairs of French stones, being capable of producing 4320 stones of wheat in a week.
King George V and King George VI visited the Village and Whiteslea Lodge. One occasion in 1959 is well remembered when, because Whiteslea Lodge was flooded, the Duke of Edinburgh and Charles, Prince of Wales, stayed at The Pleasure Boat Inn. The Prince of Wales was in Hickling in 2001 to visit the Nature Reserve.

My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced around 1,800 original films, most in English. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects.
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
Churches and cathedrals, Norfolk, UK
Norfolk enjoys the richest church heritage in the UK, with a stunning Norman cathedral, ruined abbeys, countryside wool churches and the most round tower churches in the UK. In total there are over 650... try to find a horizon without a spire...
Norfolk Broads 1962 family holiday
This a an absolute gem! Filmed early in 1962, it follows a family boating holiday with three generations who hired one of the Delight class and one of the Starlight class of motor cruisers from Herbert Woods boatyard at Potter Heigham. There are several things that make this film a bit special. Firstly, whilst their are plenty of scenes showing the family, the cinematographer concentrated on footage of the scenery, the landscape and the villages of Broadland including some super film of Ludham, Coltishall, Horstead Mill, Hoveton and Wroxham along with some lovely shots of Herbert Woods Broads Haven yard. It's always interesting to see how some areas have changed whilst others have remained largely unchanged.
What has changed significantly, and what makes this film really special, is that sections of the car journey were filmed. This is yet another orphaned film. I know nothing about the family featured but their journey starts from the village of Baslow in Derbyshire and they appear to have travelled to the Broads via the old A17 and the A47. I have left the footage intact as it is incredible. No bypasses in those days and straight through town centres that today, I'm sure, are gridlocked by traffic. Leaving home, they pass first through Chesterfield then Newark-on-Trent with some footage of the RAF Cranwell base as they pass. Sleaford with the Handley Monument in the town centre is seen next followed by crossing Sutton Bridge in the fens. Towards the end of the journey they pass through Swaffham with the George Hotel seen.
The interest doesn't stop there as far as the car journey is concerned. The approach to Wroxham is filmed and the family obviously stopped off at George Smith's boatyard for a look round. Back in the car, we get highlights of the drive through Horning and Ludham before the family arrive at Potter Heigham where the roadside is almost unrecognisable.
