Hardley Cross at junction of the River Yare and River Chet Hardley Cross dates from the 16th Century. It was erected on the banks of the River Yare near the junction of the River Chet to mark the boundary of jurisdiction between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. A marker, of some form or other, has stood on this spot since the 1400s. The cross was repaired in 1820, 1884 and 1899 when the fence was erected around it. It received further attention in 1990 and the bank was strengthened as the cross was in danger of falling into the river.

Reed bales for thatching The dry summer and late frost in May had led to a low yield of reeds this year, about half that of two years previously. The short reeds are knocked out of the bundles and burnt.

New river bank Flood defence work along the River Yare has raised the height of the bank to protect the freshwater marshes from inundation by seawater at high tides. In places this has been done by building a new river bank set back from the old bank. The footpath forms part of the Wherryman's Way.
