Thurne

Thurne is a small village on the River Thurne in Norfolk, England within The Broads National Park.

It lies on the end of Thurne dyke, a popular mooring, not least because of Thurne windpump, painted white and and a popular object for photography. There is a second windpump across the river, the St. Benet's Level windpump.

The Weaver's Way, a Long distance footpath, runs through the village.
