United Kingdom Muttons Mill, Halvergate Marshes.
This location doesn’t have an exact address. Known as Halvergate Marshes it forms a bridal path from Muttons Mill to the Broads onto Berney Arms. The entire region is one big marshland that’s only accessible by foot or, if you have the strength by bicycle which will require lifting the bike over many locked farm fences.
Photography Tips
As mentioned, this region is marshland. It’s in extreme remote regions of Norfolk, cellular service is poor, there’s no toilets, public utilities and no public transport to get there. Taxis maybe. Take a long lens, tripod, spare batteries, warm and waterproof clothing, and insect repellent. Wear dull or mute coloured clothing. I say this because the region is swarming with horse and stable flies. My legs, arms and neck were bitten red raw. I use DEET100 which does work but not all the times. Take food, water, and STAY on track. This area is exposed to the North Sea. So at times will be blustery. The fields in and around the mill have cattle. Cows and bulls are present. You must be VERY careful when walking on the footpath and don’t always follow what Google Maps says. I did and got lost many times because the bridal paths aren’t clearly marked. Winter time makes this area dangerous due to flooding and soft ground. No one would hear your screams for help if you needed it. On top of that, in the four days I stayed here I never saw a single person walk by.
Travel Information
I traveled by bike to Norwich train station and from
Norwich to Acle. From Acle I cycled to Halvergate Marshes and then took the bridal paths over fenced fields eventually arriving at Muttons Mill. The journey is approximately 4.5 miles ish. Berney Arms Station is closer but it’s considered very rare people stop there due to its location and train times. Bicycles and pedestrians are allowed to use the farm roads to Muttons Mill but cars aren’t. Parking is prohibited. Sign posts warn this too.
