Beautiful broads and rivers

Norfolk is famous for its Broadland waterways which stretch for 200kms. The Broads were formed by medieval peat diggings which became shallow lakes joined by cuts and dykes to the rivers of the areas including the Yare, the Bure, the Wensum and the Waveney. Visitors can take a boat from Wroxham, Potter Heigham or Martham and explore the peaceful waters, stopping off at one of the friendly riverside pubs on the way. The Broadside towns offer many attractions of their own with craft centres, museums and beautiful gardens in abundance.

The fens and waterways of West Norfolk offer a complete change of scene with wide open skies and a mysterious landscape which is home to an amazing variety of wildlife.
