Horning

Horning is a village and civil parish located in the English county of Norfolk. Situated within the Norfolk Broads, a network of rivers and lakes, the village is a popular destination for boating and watersports. The River Ant flows through Horning, providing access to other parts of the Broads.

The village itself is characterized by its thatched cottages and traditional architecture. It has a history that dates back to at least the Domesday Book. Notable landmarks include the Church of St. Clement, which features a medieval rood screen. Horning also has a small harbor that caters to pleasure craft.

Economically, Horning has traditionally relied on agriculture and, more recently, tourism. The presence of boatyards and waterside pubs contributes to its appeal for visitors. The local community is small, and the village offers basic amenities such as a shop and post office.

In terms of natural environment, the surrounding area is part of the unique Broads landscape, known for its wetlands, diverse birdlife, and water lilies. Conservation efforts are in place to protect this ecosystem. Access to Horning is primarily by road, though the river provides an alternative route for those exploring the Broads by boat.
