Footpath to Back Lane

Image: © Evelyn Simak Taken: 22 Jun 2008

This public footpath turns off the A149 (Main Road) in northerly direction; it links with Back Lane. The village of Rollesby - mentioned in the Domesday Book as Rotholfuesby and believed to have been a Viking settlement - is situated eight miles northwest of the seaside town of Great Yarmouth. Being isolated from the other Norfolk Broads, Rollesby Broad (linked to Filby and Ormesby Broad) is an ideal place for fishing and sailing as the use of motorised pleasure crafts is not permitted. In 2001 the parish, which for purposes of local government belongs to the district of Great Yarmouth, had a population of 995 in 408 households. St George's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855320 is one of 120-odd round tower churches in Great Britain, most of which can be found in Norfolk.
