Potter Heigham sits on the winding River Thurne in the heart of The Broads, within North Norfolk, Norfolk, England. It’s best known for its narrow medieval bridge with a low, curved arch that still challenges visiting cruisers and often requires a local pilot; the surrounding reedbeds, tidal creeks and grazing marshes make it a magnet for birdwatchers, anglers and anyone after the quiet, watery landscape the Broads are famed for.
Today the village’s economy is dominated by boating and tourism, with boatyards, hire firms and waterside pubs running alongside traditional village life. Historic buildings and a compact village centre give it a characterful, rural feel, and conservation is important here - the mix of heritage, active boating culture and rich wildlife makes Potter Heigham a distinctively Norfolk destination.
