Description
Small mill race pond on the River Bure, a rare spring-fed chalk stream in Norfolk. John’s Water is a bit of a local secret with water ranging from 2ft deep to 6ft deep. It can get busy in the summer months, especially in heat waves due to the cool spring water. ***the mill race, whilst exciting, can be dangerous for weak swimmers and children***
Getting There
There is a small verge for parking two cars next to the mill race and additional roadside parking further up the road.
Accessibility
Water is accessed via three natural banks which can be slippery. The edges of the pool are shallower than the centre

Mentioned briefly in Waterlogged, I had to visit. I was there early June when there were thick stinging nettles surrounding, but places to get in. Great fun playing in the Mill Race.

It was so much fun swimming at John’s Water in the summer, even if it was freezing cold!
