United Kingdom Berney Arms Windmill.

Located on the River Yare this is Berney Arms Mill. It’s a great spot for isolated photography though planning is required. I made use of the bridal paths leading up to the mill to get a better composition.

There’s limited access to Berney Arms Mill. No cars are allowed to enter through the farmland roads. Only bicycle or via foot and the journey there from the Acle New Road is long at over 1-2 miles. The other route is by boat. Boat hire is around there 200£ minimum for day trip. Kayaking could be tricky due to strong marine currents. Take a tripod. Spare batteries. Long lens. Filters.

Traveling by bike is adventurous but dangerous too.

There’s three routes. The first route is crazy. Travel by bike with all your kit from Muttons Mill to Berney Arms along the bridal paths.

This is tricky though because many of the gates are locked. You’ll have to lift your bike and kit over them. Some are unlocked. Many paths are not signposted well either. Furthermore, you’ve cows and bulls to contend with. I did this route and it took me over an hour to travel one mile to the mill.

The second route I took is from Norwich train station by bike. Traveled to Great Yarmouth station. Then inputted the details of Berney arms mill into google maps. Three miles of the route is along the Acle New Road which is extremely dangerous for cyclists. The other three miles is along farm roads. I highly recommend not doing this journey on windy or rainy days or if you’re not bike confident. Due to the road being narrow and little room to overtake safely, expect road rage as I did.

The other route is via boat. You can walk to the mill and lock your bike up but you’re risking it being stolen. Either way summer travel is best.
