Shaded ford with nice clear water with a good footbridge alternative, but was ridable (at least in April). The trails either side are also pleasant, only a few slippery muddy patches.

Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse is home to the Museum of Norfolk Life, a rare breeds farm and a recreated workhouse. At the farm you can see the very rare Suffolk Punch Horse, a traditional working horse dating of which there are estimated to be only 400 in existence. You have to pay to go in, but there is a short footpath outside with information boards. For further details, see the website https://www.museums.norfolk.gov.uk/gressenhall-farm-and-workhouse
