What more could you ask for!?
Dilham is situated in East Norfolk, on the northern tip of the broads. In the 19th century the canal was constructed from Wayford Bridge to Antingham. Agricultural products were carried along the canal by distinctive wherries, which sadly never proved a success. Today parts of the canal are being restored to their former beauty, while other parts have not changed for more than 100 years.
Dilham is on the River Ant just off the A149 road, near Stalham. The name comes from the extensive fields of dill, a herb which was grown commercially here.
