A Broads boating holiday is a fantastic opportunity to get away from it all on the tranquil waterways of rural Norfolk, stopping at remote spots or pretty villages. Relaxing, peaceful, perfect!
Great for those who enjoy or want to experience a boating holiday. The Broads are easy to navigate for the 1st time boater. There are lots of places to visit. Check the maps and plan a route before you set off to get the best from this type of holiday. Unfortunately, by their very nature, the boats are not wheelchair accessible. Dog friendly cruisers are available to hire.
The Broads, known as the Broads National Park since 2015 is a network of mostly navigable rivers and lakes in Norfolk and Suffolk. They were formed by the flooding of peat workings that were dug in medieval times and cover an area of some 303 square kilometres, most of which is in Norfolk, with over 200 kilometres of navigable waterways. There are seven rivers and 63 broads, mostly less than 4 metres deep. Thirteen broads are generally open to navigation, with a further three having navigable channels.
The Broads is full of history with abbeys and churches, windmills, boathouses and wherries (a unique type of sailing boat which was used as cargo and passenger ship) together with some amazing homes. The Broads is Britian’s largest protected wetland and conservation is hugely significant to the biodiversity of the UK. Wildlife is everywhere with regular sightings of geese, swans, kingfishers and herons to name a few.
An amazing place to visit, once will not be enough.

The tourists attraction at The broads is good.self drive boats, guided tours and accommodations on water boats is unique to this place. But the drive route is not great no dual carriage way or motor way. Mostly country roads with single line.
Perfect boating holiday, beautiful scenery, stunning wildlife and gorgeous places to moor-up with dog-friendly pubs.
Lovely area, great views, nice boat tour and some nice places to eat.
