Wild Duck Holiday Park Nr Great Yarmouth

Full cloud cover this morning. After Breakfast, We cycled to Burgh Castle. 









A tiny little Tearoom with only four tables, this was the best afternoon tea we have ever had. We had 16 finger sandwiches each, a scone and clotted cream each and four full sized slices of cake between us. The service was excellent and the owner kept topping up the teapot and looked after us really well. 

Later we had a sit by the river opposite for a while. A truly lovely spot, before heading back to the Caravan
The late 3rd century 'Saxon Shore' fort at Burgh Castle was built as part of the Roman network of coastal defences, and probably abandoned just over a hundred years later. Three of its imposing stone walls survive, almost to their original height, making this one of the best preserved Roman monuments in Britain. The fourth wall collapsed into the surrounding marshes a long time ago.
The land around the fort is a wildlife haven and offers panoramic views over Breydon Water.
We cycled back to to the Caravan to shower ang get ready for today’s afternoon tea at Rosie Lee’s Tearoom in Lodden.
