More about Norfolk Broads

norfolk-broads With over 200kms of lock-free tidal rivers to explore, the Broads and its surrounding towns and villages are a delight to visit, whatever the time of year. Cycle or walk to quaint villages with medieval churches and restored windmills, visit historic cities, stately homes or the pleasure beaches of seaside towns.

Follow trails through conservation parks and nature reserves, spying on amazing birdlife from secluded hideouts. As Britain’s largest nationally protected wetland, the Broads are home to an abundance of rare and beautiful flora and fauna, so bring your binoculars to see kingfishers, terns, owls, crested grebes, otters, herons and even the rare swallowtail butterfly.

With a history steeped in boat building, Wroxham is the bustling heart of the Broads and home to Le Boat’s own boat-building yard and team of expert boat builders and fitters. Or choose to cruise from our base at Somerlayton, newly opened for 2009. From either base, you can cruise as much or as little as you like – you’re never far from a town or village to visit.

"We played cards and read books in idyllic surroundings and came away feeling totally relaxed."

Mooring is easy – there are many purpose-built moorings or you can simply pull up alongside the river bank and watch the sun go down from the comfort of your cruiser, or from the gardens of one of Norfolk’s centuries-old village pubs – with their uneven floors, wooden beams and cosy interiors they are a lasting reminder of an age gone by.
