Description

Geldeston lies on the River Waveney and is known for its historic lock, now the limit of navigation on the Broads, though small boats can continue upstream. In days gone by Geldeston Lock and other locks made it possible for sailing wherries laden with cargo to travel to Bungay, with its brewing and malting industries. Geldeston still has a boatyard (with canoe hire available) and two pubs, one being the Locks Inn, formerly the lock-keeper’s cottage.
