Everything about The River Yare totally explained
The
River Yare is a
river in the
English county of
Norfolk. In its lower reaches the river connects with the navigable waterways of
The Broads.
The river
rises south of
Dereham in the county of
Norfolk. From there it flows in a generally eastward direction passing
Barnham Broom and is joined by the
River Tiffey before reaching
Bawburgh. It then skirts the southern fringes of the city of
Norwich, passing through
Colney,
Cringleford,
Lakenham and
Trowse. At
Whitlingham it's joined by the
River Wensum, which flows through the centre of the city, before flowing eastward into
The Broads, passing the villages of
Bramerton,
Surlingham,
Rockland St. Mary and
Cantley. Just before
Reedham at
Hardley Cross (erected in 1676) it's joined by the
River Chet. The cross marks the ancient boundary between the City of
Norwich and Borough of
Great Yarmouth. Beyond Reedham the river passes the famously isolated marshland settlement of
Berney Arms before entering the tidal lake of
Breydon Water. Here the Yare is joined by the Rivers
Bure and
Waveney and finally flows into the
North Sea at
Gorleston,
Great Yarmouth.
The river is navigable to small coastal vessels from
Norwich to the sea, and in former times carried significant commercial traffic to that city. At Reedham the river is joined by the
Haddiscoe Cut, a canal which provides a direct navigable link to the River Waveney at
Haddiscoe avoiding Breydon Water.
Wherryman's Way
Opened in 2005, the 35 mile long
Wherryman's Way follows the route of the historic Broads trading
wherries between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. It winds through existing footpaths, open marshes, reedbeds, grazing meadows and riverside villages along the banks of the River Yare. The path passes numerous information panels, sculptures and audio posts which seek to bring to life the characters and history of the route.
