• North Broads Cruise

  Although just short distance away by road, it is easy to spend a week cruising this idyllic northern section of the Broads as there is so much to see and do. At the village of Woodbastwick on the edge of Cockshoot Broad visit the local Norfolk Brewery and taste some real ale! Climb the 97 steps to the top of the ancient church tower at Ranworth for panoramic views over the Broads - the views on a clear day are spectacular. Also visit the local nature reserve - an excellent information centre and birdlife viewing station where children will love to find out all about life on the Broads and the delicate balancing act between man and nature. Passing carefully through the lowest bridge on the Broads at Potter Heigham, head for the large Hickling Broad - home to an important national nature reserve and popular with sailing boats. Or follow in Admiral Lord Nelson’s footsteps and learn to sail at Barton Broad. The North Broads are threaded by the rivers Ant and Thurne and have some lovely villages hidden away. Visit Toad Hole Cottage on the How Hill Nature Reserve at Ludham for a glimpse of Victorian country life and a chance to explore the nearby woodland and marshes.
