Heritage listing
Wayford Bridge is a village on the River Ant on the A149 road, near Stalham in Norfolk, England within The Broads National Park. Due to height restrictions under the road bridge it is the most northerly point of navigation on the Norfolk Broads for boats over 7 feet 6 inches (2.29 m) in height above the water line. Broads boats can continue to Dilham, though the channel is narrow and has limited places in which to turn around.
