At a bend in the River Bure, in Norfolk, England, an old mill straddles the water. After a fire in 1991 and several years as a hotel beginning in 1999, the historic building was repurposed in 2005 and divided into several beautiful apartments. I had the pleasure of spending a week in one of them. Our apartment is the one with the shutters.
The steam trains of the narrow gauge Bure Valley Railroad run through the countryside very nearby, between Norwich and Coltishall. Visiting “stately homes”, including the Queen’s Sandringham Estate, and boat trips on the Norfolk Broads are among the many activities available in the area. More on those boat trips soon.
Read about the history of Buxton Mill here, illustrated with great old photos and maps.
