Horning, Norfolk

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Horning is a popular village in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, about 10 miles from Norwich. Horning dates to at least the Roman era. The riuins of medieval St Benets Abbey stand on the river bank just outside the village. The abbey was the only one in Britain not destroyed by Henry VIII's men in the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The manor of Horning was once owned by the crown, until King Canute granted it to the monks of St Benets. The attractive parish church of St Benedict stands beside the river. Across the river is the Bure Marshes National Nature Reserve, where you can see a wide variety of wildlife and birds in their natural habitat, including marsh harriers, grey herons, and a variety of colourful butterflies.
