For a more tranquil break
head to the Broads National
Park, Britain’s largest
protected wetland, with more
than 100 miles of waterways
and home to some of the
most rare plants and animals
in the UK.
If you just want a taster of the water you can
hire a day boat. Or you can spend all your
break or holiday on the Broads using the
multiple and varied mooring spots close to
watering holes and tearooms.
Take a riverside walk and spot the wildlife
and nature along the way in the natural
habitats of reserves.
The Broads attract scores of visitors who
enjoy navigating the rivers in sailing and
motor cruisers, many passing through Great
Yarmouth to the southern rivers.
You can also hire canoes, kayaks and
stand-up paddle boards if you want to
experience a di昀昀erent view, or perhaps if
you prefer land to water hire a bicycle or
tandem to ride along the many miles of
cycle path routes.
From the north, boats are able to cruise
along reed-lined rivers Thurne and Bure,
past Martham, Thurne, Acle and Stokesby
through breath-taking countryside views,
with historic windmills dotted on the horizon.
From the south, visitors can sail past
St Olaves and Fritton and across to Burgh
Castle at the con昀氀ux of the River Yare and
the River Waveney and along to Breydon
Water where the sunsets are stunning.
There are plenty of longer walks taking in
the villages and beautiful Broads views all
over the area.
