The Norfolk Broads
The Norfolk Broads are Britain’s finest and best-loved holiday boating location. For decades this beautiful part of East Anglia has provided holidaymakers with unique scenery, access to wild birds and flowers not normally seen, some of the region’s finest stately homes, as well as an abundance of thatched cottages, watermills and windmills that have become the Broads trademark.
The Broads are popular with first time visitors and ‘seasoned’ boaters alike. Being the Country’s largest inland waterway system, there are always new areas to explore year after year, and the added attraction of not having to negotiate locks is welcomed by some. A Broads cruise means waterside pubs, restaurants, easy and abundant mooring places and a peacefully relaxed atmosphere that is the essence of every good holiday. If that appeals to you, the Norfolk Broads will not disappoint.
The Broads Area
The beauty of a Broads holiday is its flexibility. The historic City of Norwich is well worth exploring. Two magnificent cathedrals, several excellent museums and the two new shopping mall developments are all waiting to be discovered. To the East of the Broads are the famous golden sands of Great Yarmouth with its exciting seafront packed full of attractions and entertainment. Both Great Yarmouth and Norwich offer plenty of nightlife for those with plenty of energy left at the end of the day, with a host of restaurants, clubs, pubs and cinemas to suit everybody.
