Filby reveals a landscape where the flat Norfolk horizon meets the steady, quiet expansion of water. It lies 3.6 miles west-north-west of Caister-on-Sea (from Caister-on-Sea: bearing 285°T, OS grid TG 465 132), and is situated south-west of Ormesby St Michael village. Light travels unimpeded across the open fields here, catching the reeds that fringe Filby Broad and turning the water into a sheet of hammered pewter. The village sign, a metal Bittern poised in perpetual alertness, greets visitors near the road as a herald of the nearby marshes. Further back, the skeletal remains of the Filby Dissenters' Chapel stand as a stoic reminder of past convictions, their crumbling flint walls softened by encroaching ivy. Life in Filby moves in synchrony with the shifting seasons, dictated by the slow, deliberate drainage of the land and the changing habits of the wildfowl. Even on the quietest afternoons, the air carries a faint, sharp salinity that hints at the proximity of the North Sea. These surroundings possess a stark, unadorned beauty that rewards those who linger to watch the shadows lengthen across the low-lying pastures.
