Wroxham
Wroxham is a town and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The civil parish of Wroxham has an area of 6.21 square kilometres and in 2001 had a population of 1532 in 666 households. The town is situated within the Norfolk Broads on the south side of a loop in the middle reaches of the River Bure. It lies in an elevated position above the Bure, between Belaugh Broad to the west and Wroxham Broad to the east or south east. Wroxham is some eight miles north-east of Norwich, to which it is linked by the A1151 road. The village and broad lie in an area of fairly intensive agriculture, with areas of wet woodland adjoining the broad and river.〔http://www.ecn.ac.uk/sites/ecnsites.asp?site=L03〕 For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of Broadland〔Office for National Statistics & Norfolk County Council (2001). ''(Census population and household counts for unparished urban areas and all parishes )''. Retrieved 2 December 2005.〕 although the river, broad and their immediate environs fall within the executive area of the Broads Authority. On the northern side of the Bure is the village of Hoveton, often confused with Wroxham. ==Wroxham Bridge== Wroxham Bridge was rebuilt in brick and stone in 1619 replacing a bridge built in 1576, which itself replaced an earlier, probably wooden, structure.〔http://www.broadland.gov.uk/PDF/WROXHAM_con_area_doc_final.pdf〕 It is considered to be the second most difficult on the Broads to navigate (after Potter Heigham) and a pilot station sits on the Hoveton side of the river to assist boaters for a fee: £6 per boat.
