Wherry Hotel and Mutford Lock, Oulton Broad Lowestoft

This photo was taken from the end of a nearby jetty into Oulton Broad. The entrance to the lock is near to the blue and red sign and is the southern link with the North Sea for the Norfolk Broads. The road bridge crossing over the top of the lock has been replaced since the photo was taken. The Wherry Hotel has been here for many years and offers good views over the Broad.
