Six display panels have been installed around the Brecks to celebrate and tell the story of the rivers at that location – recreation history, trade and industry, ecology and more.

Links to more info relating to each of the panels below.

A Google map shows the locations, so you can get directions.

Brandon Staunch; Cavenham Heath/Temple Bridge

Honington & Sapiston; Mildenhall Cricket Club

Thetford Riverside; Thetford River Swimming Baths

The interpretation panels were put together in the Healing Waters project, using material gathered by volunteers in the Tales from the River and Industrious Rivers projects, part of The Brecks Fen Edge and Rivers Landscape Partnership Scheme, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Some of the panels include key concise water safety info developed within the project.

 At Cavenham/Temple Bridge you can access off-line web content using your smart phone (Info Point).
