River Chet

The River Chet is a small river in South Norfolk, England and a tributary of the River Yare. It rises in Poringland and then flows eastwards through Alpington, Bergh Apton, Thurton and Loddon. At Loddon it passes under the A146 and then through Loddon Mill and into Loddon Staithe. From this point onwards the river is navigable. It then passes Hardley Flood to the north, a nature reserve part-managed by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust. The river finally joins the River Yare a few miles east of Reedham at Hardley Cross, erected in 1676 [ [http://www.the-plunketts.freeserve.co.uk/boundarycrosses.htm Norwich Boundary Crosses ] ] , which marks the ancient boundary between the City of Norwich and the Borough of Great Yarmouth. The total navigable length is some 3½ miles. [ [http://www.loddon.org.uk/RiverChet.htm River Chet ] ] Fishing is permitted between Loddon and Hardley Cross, bream and roach being the most common catch.
