Ludham and Ludham Bridge

Ludham is a quaint Broads village, surrounded by water on three sides by the rivers Ant, Bure and Thurne. Ludham village is best accessed via Womack Water, off the River Thurne, the village is a short walk from the staithe and contains a village pub, tea room, convenience store, post office and butchers.
Ludham’s main attraction is the historic St Catherine’s Church. The church has a number of interesting features including a fine oak hammer beam roof, with the wheel of St
Catherine carved into every other spindle, a rood screen painted with various saints and the ‘village chest’ which still contains documents and needs two keys to be unlocked.
