    A leading holiday destination, Britain’s largest protected wetland and third largest inland waterway, the Norfolk Broads cover 303 sq kilometres, with more than 200 kilometres of navigable waters. The Broads, which also take in some Suffolk wetland, have the same status as a National Park, and consist of 63 broads (relatively shallow lakes formed from flooded mediaeval peat beds) and seven rivers (the Bure, Thurne, Ant, Yare, Chet, Waveney and Wensum). The Broads provide a haven for a myriad of species, including swallowtail butterflies, kingfishers, great crested grebes and Cetti’s warblers.

    Since 1989, the area has been managed by the Broads Authority, which works to conserve, promote and protect the wetlands. The unique beauty of the Norfolk Broads includes a landscape rich in traditional windmills, historic churches, delightful pubs and amazing wildlife, with something to appeal to every visitor.

    Things to do on the Norfolk Broads

    Thirteen of the broads are usually open to navigation, and the area offers unparalleled opportunities for leisure, including exploration by boat, bicycle and on foot, and for bird-watching and other wildlife observation, as well as wildfowling and angling.

    The best way to see the Broads is obviously by boat, and it is easy to spend a week exploring the lock-free navigable waterways, visiting various churches and windmills en route. The Broadland Conservation Centre at Ranworth affords the visitor a great viewing platform for herons, crested grebes and terns, and is easily accessible by road.

    At Wroxham visitors can shop or take the Bittern Line or the narrow gauge Bure Valley railways. On Barton Broad at Neatishead, the Nancy Oldfield Trust, a registered charity and RYA training centre, offers water-borne activities for people with a wide range of disabilities.

    Top Destinations

    North Walsham - An ancient market town, North Walsham is home to the church of St Nicholas, one of the famous 14th century ‘wool churches’ which are testament to a once-thriving local weaving industry. The National Motorcycle Museum houses over 80 machines dating back to the 1920s, as well as numerous other transport ephemera, such as bicycles and die cast toys. Two long-distance footpaths - the Paston Way and the Weavers Way - also take a route through the town.

    Reedham  - A vehicular chain ferry over the River Yare provides the only river crossing between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Up to three cars, plus foot passengers, can utilise Reedham Ferry, saving a 30 mile journey.

    Norwich - It was once said that Norwich had ‘a pub for every day of the year and a church for every week of the year’. Within the historic city walls there are over 30 medieval churches, as well as two spectacular cathedrals, a selection of award-winning pubs, the largest daily open-air market in the country, two state-of-the-art shopping malls, and a huge variety of notable buildings demonstrating virtually every stage in the development of English architecture - including those which make Norwich the most complete mediaeval city in Britain.

    Great Yarmouth - This archetypal seaside resort stretches over 15 miles of wide, sandy beaches, with two glorious piers helping to make it the family holiday centre of the Norfolk coast. The Time and Tide Museum celebrates the mysterious heritage of the herring, whilst both the Nelson Museum and Nelson’s Monument are to the glory of Norfolk’s favourite son. Within easy reach of the town, nature lovers can take a boat trip out to Scroby Sands to watch the beautiful seals basking on the sand banks, whilst other local attractions include the Sea Life Centre, Thrigby Wildlife Gardens, Pettits Animal Adventure Park, Caister Castle Car Collection and the Greyhound Racing Stadium.
