River Ant Moorings and Amenities

Dilham

Reached via a small dyke from Wayford Bridge, there are moorings for around 5 boats at this pretty location. A turning area is provided opposite the moorings which are free. A five-minute walk down the lane to the left takes you to the Cross Keys Inn. Refuse bins.

Wayford Bridge

Free moorings are provided before the bridge on the right-hand side travelling towards Dilham. Once moored, a walk under the bridge will bring you to the Wayford Bridge Hotel.

Stalham

Free moorings are available in this small town, principally in the Richardsons boat yard which is massive. A little further down the dyke are 3 or 4 boat moorings at the local staithe which are also free. It is a 5 to 10-minute walk into town from here where you will find all the usual facilities. Showers, WCs and refuse bins available at Richardson's boatyard.

Sutton

A long dyke leading from the far point of Sutton Broad is provided for free mooring here. A short walk will take you to the Sutton Staithe Hotel which also has its own limited free moorings. This area is very popular and early arrival is advised. Refuse bins.

Neatishead

The free moorings are accessed from a narrow dyke that leads from Barton Broad. Gays Staithe is the first you will come across. Stern moor here. A little further down the dyke is the village staithe which can hold around 14 boats. Both mooring spots have access to the village with the White Horse Public House and a village store, though Gays Staithe is a little further away. Refuse bins near to moorings.

Irstead

This pretty location is situated just before you travel out onto Barton Broad (if coming from the Ludham Bridge direction). Free moorings for 3 or 4 boats are provided and it is always busy. Best to have a plan B if wanting to moor here.

How Hill

There are extensive free moorings here with access to the How Hill Educational Centre, which is open to the public as are various nature trails.

Ludham Bridge

Not to be confused with Ludham on the River Thurne. Extensive free moorings are available on either side of the river just past the bridge, heading towards Barton Broad. A village store and a public house (The Dog), are situated a short walk from the moorings. Public toilets and waste bins are nearby.
