Storm Ciarán: The Ferry Inn in Horning open despite flooding

The Ferry Inn in Horning has only been accessible by boat for a week following the heavy rainfall brought by recent storms. 

Pubs in the area are being severely affected by flooding as Storm Ciarán batters the region just two weeks after Storm Babet brought chaos.

"Our kitchen and cellar are flooded and it's going to be all hands on deck to dry things out and clear up after the form."

"The water has come halfway up the garden and it's going to cover more."

Both pubs sit next to the River Bure which has been subject to a flood warning for most of the day.
