Horsey, Norfolk

Horsey, Norfolk

Horsey is a small village (population 99 [Office for National Statistics & Norfolk County Council, 2001. " [http://www.norfolk.gov.uk/consumption/groups/public/documents/general_resources/ncc017867.xls Census population and household counts for unparished urban areas and all parishes] ."] ) in Norfolk, England within The Broads National Park.

It is situated at the end of Horsey Mere, a Nature Reserve.

Horsey windpump is in the care of the National Trust. It was struck by lightning in the 1960s and has been beautifully restored. It is open daily during the summer months.

Horsey has often taken the brunt of devastating floods and violent coastal storms and, on some notable occasions, the sea has entered the Broads, rendering the water salty and killing large amounts of wildlife.

The church of Horsey All Saints is one of 124 existing round-tower churches in Norfolk.
