On a hot day great place to dip your toes with young ones (not really suitable for under 2’s). Also great place for small open swim as middle nice and deep. No toilets or benches so bring a towel to sit on. As it’s small sometimes on really hot weekends can be too busy Park on the road
Love coming here with my family and daughter. Scenery is gorgeous and it's the perfect place to go wild swimming in too. Kids can play in the shallow water and adults can go further in if they're comfortable swimmers.
Beautiful little spot. Nice to have a little wander and sit by the water or if its a nice day go for a little paddle. Also every time I've been it's been pretty quiet and not many people about which is a bonus. Real beauty spot.
Beautiful and unspoilt with pretty little surrounding villages to explore.

Took my partner here as he had never seen a Ford before. Unfortunately the road was closed at the time (unsure why but lots of road closed signs) so we were not able to drive through it but we could drive up to it and walk on the bridge. I understand people go in the water during the summer months although we had no intention of that. Very pretty little area to drive to but nothing else there (ie you couldn’t really park up and spend more than 10 mins there). Just simply a nice little piece of Norfolk landscape to visit in passing.
Under 5ft of water road from a140 just before the ford is washed away you can only get within 100 yards of the ford from Stoke Holly cross. It's the worst I've ever seen it in 48 years.
