The big skies and lovely landscape of golden fields, marshland, feathery reeds and tangled woodlands are a perfect canvas for adventure and relaxation – time to reflect, space to explore, a fabulous opportunity to enjoy a magical break.

Broadland is the centre of the Broads National Park, 125 miles of navigable, lock-free waterways set in beautiful countryside and home to more than a quarter of Britain’s rarest animals and plants, so don’t forget binoculars.

Much of the Broads is accessible with walkways for walkers, cyclists and those with disabilities.

To enjoy the unique rivers and lakes and incredible wildlife, the best way to get around is by boat, becoming immersed in a slower, gentler pace of life. You can hire a day boat – many of them now are electric – or a cruiser for longer trips. Accessible options are available.
