The river Rises south of Dereham in the county of Norfolk . From there it flows in a generally eastward direction to the city of Norwich , where it passes through the southern fringes of the city. Here it is joined by the River Wensum , which flows through the centre of the city, before flowing eastward into the national park. The river passes the villages of Cantley and Reedham and the famously isolated marshland settlement of Berney Arms before entering the tidal lake of Breydon Water . Here the Yare is joined by the Rivers Bure and Waveney and finally flows into the North Sea at Gorleston , Great Yarmouth . The river is navigable to small coastal vessels from Norwich to the sea, and in former times carried significant commercial traffic to that city. At Reedham the river is joined by the Haddiscoe Cut , a canal which provides a direct navigable link to the River Waveney at Haddiscoe avoiding Breydon Water. SEE ALSO REFERENCES |
