Reedham Cottages

The Norfolk village of Reedham is situated in the Broads National Park and lies on the River Yare. It was once the only ferry crossing between Great Yarmouth at Norwich. If you would like information about Reedham cottages then our collection of properties below should be of some help.

Reedham has a newly developed quayside which compliments the pleasant riverside ambience of the town. Its a popular gathering point, especially during the summer and has some wonderful country pubs such as The Reedham Ferry Inn and The Lord Nelson, which is near the river's moorings.

The Broads National Park, in which Reedham is located, consists of an extensive network of navigable waterways and rivers. Protected since the 1980s, the region is also noted for its wildlife which includes the Greylag and Kingfisher birds. It is the largest protected wetland in the United Kingdom.

The Reedham Swing Bridge is one of the town's most well-known features and grants safe passage to trains and boats. And a few miles over the marshes that surround Reedham lies Berney Arms, a 70ft high Windmill in full-working order that is open to the public during the summer months.
