Thurne is a small village and civil parish in the district of Great Yarmouth, in Norfolk, tucked into the intricate waterways of the Norfolk Broads. It sits beside the River Thurne and the narrow Thurne Dyke, an area of reedbeds, marsh and traditional drainage mills that gives the place a quietly watery character and an instantly recognisable skyline thanks to the old windpump by the dyke.
Historically a mix of small-scale farming, fishing and reed-cutting, the local economy now leans heavily on boating and tourism, with hire boats and moorings bringing visitors to enjoy wildlife such as marsh harriers and bitterns. The village retains a close-knit feel and a strong sense of Broads heritage, where historic drainage works, thatched cottages and riverside paths sit alongside contemporary leisure craft and waterside holiday facilities.
