It's like something out of a Famous Five adventure. Land on the exciting-sounding Heron Island in Norfolk, which many don't even know exists, is being auctioned.

Crabbetts Marsh, on the island near Horning and Wroxham, is a parcel of amenity waterside land accessed only via a bridge.

Currently overgrown, the "tranquil spot" is found off a shared driveway, crossing the bridge from dry land.

Plot 74 is being auctioned on July 28 in a livestream sale.

Heron Island can be found after leaving Wroxham, heading towards Horning. It's located by turning right onto a private road called South Quays Lane, across a bridge.
