Dydle Down is a wooden riverbank bungalow on the River Thurne on the northern Norfolk Broads. Facing south, it offers beautiful views along the river and out over the grazing meadows. No road access gives Dydle Down a real get-away-from-it-all feel and yet it is only about a 15 minute walk or short boat trip from Potter Heigham with its medieval arched bridge, cafes, tackle shop and boat hire. There is a raised deck, lawn and plenty of space to moor your boat and paddlecraft along the 25 plus foot river frontage. So, put your dydle down and relax …

Please note that Dydle Down is only accessible by foot or boat. There is a step from the path into the property and two steps up to the raised deck and front door. Neither the raised deck, river frontage nor mooring dock are fenced. Between November and March the path from Potter Heigham is liable to flooding which means you may need wellies.
