THE BROADS
The charm of the Norfolk broads is unique, formed by the digging of peat for fuel in the middle ages the broads are a collection of 40 or so shallow lakes which alongside the connecting rivers make up the 250 miles of navigable waterways.
They are a haven for Ramblers, Bird watchers, botanists, fishermen and of course sailors.
The following are just a few suggestions of activities you can pursue while visiting the area.
RAMBLERS
Norfolk is ideal for ramblers with its many documented walks, including the famous weavers way that runs from Gt Yarmouth to Cromer, a total of 56 miles.
Weavers way also connects to Pedders/ Anglers way.
We are situated 9 miles along weaver’s way from Gt Yarmouth.
There are many short walks around the area taking in local places of interest coupled with picturesque buildings and watering holes.
