CATFIELD.
The nearest station to Hickling, but not so convenient for boats.
STALHAM.
Barton Broad is within a mile and a half, where the fishing is excellent. Plenty of boats obtainable at the end of the dyke. Inns, the “Maid’s Head” and the “Swan,” both very comfortable. Stalham is a pretty village.
Thence to North Walsham there is no fishing station of interest.
On the direct line between Yarmouth and Lowestoft, St. Olave’s is the nearest station to Fritton.
ACLE
Is now a station on the new line between Norwich and Yarmouth, joining the old line at Brundall.
Of places not accessible by rail, the chief is Horning Ferry, on the Bure, where there is a capital inn to stay at, kept by a good host and sportsman, Mr. Thompson, who can be relied upon to make his visitors comfortable. At Horning village, the “New” Inn deserves mention, and boats can be procured there. Horning is about four miles’ drive from Wroxham, and ten from Norwich.
The reader is requested to look at the Map, and note the relative position of the various places. As to fishing, it can hardly be said that one is better than another, for all are so good.
