The byway leading into Thurne loses height gently, before bending around the parish church and revealing the valley - of the Rivers Bure and Thurne. |
The village staithe is at the end of a cut leading to the River Thurne ... |
.. and is host to some new housing and an old windmill. |

The village spread out beyond the road, and just a few cruisers tied up ... |
.. will probably resolve into a less restful scene in the summer months. |
The windmill at Thurne. |
