Title: Delightful Places Post by: Graham C on May 03, 2016, 05:15:30 PM Just back from a weekend in Norfolk and whilst driving around I saw a sign for Horsey Windpump - what a name! Obviously had to investigate further and I found Horsey is in fact a small coastal town. There's a beach there (Horsey Beach) where seals often pop in to say hello. The Windpump is a windmill on the Broads. I have no pictures to share
I love the name Horsey Windpump. Here's a picture of it that I didn't take. The windmill is being repaired at the moment.

As as kid we lived in Newton Burgoland. It was just down the road from Barton in the Beans.

Title: Re: Delightful Places Post by: Graham C on May 03, 2016, 07:31:01 PM Come to our great county for longer next time , so much more to see and enjoy. It's a nice place, I think we saw a bit. I wanted to get some photos of Cromer Pier at night but we were there about 4 hours before sunset and had a moaning daughter in tow. I think I need to visit without her next time. Some lovely rapeseed fields about, I was hoping for one with a windmill in the middle but you can't have everything! I did see one with a lovely black barn with a red roof on that I meant to go back too but forgot where it was so didn't. I may revisit a bit earlier in the year next year. Barton in the Beans is a great name :D Title: Re: Delightful Places Post by: Newportlad on May 03, 2016, 07:49:54 PM Norfolk is a lovely place. Used to travel up to see the ex who lived in Belton for a while. Burgh Castle is lovely as well. Nice pub right on the Broads.
