English: Commercial reed bed and River Waveney beyond. Stacks of cut reeds, harvested from reed beds beside the River Waveney, line this section of the private track - see 666473 and 666500 - that connects the handful of farms on The Island. The Island is a roughly triangular-shaped area consisting of marsh pastures, surrounded by the River Waveney in the east and the River Yare in the west; the New Cut connects both rivers. It forms the border in the southwest by cutting diagonally across it from Reedham in the NW to St Olaves in the SE.
