Boating Holidays on the Norfolk Broads
A boating holiday on the Norfolk Broads is an ideal way to spend a relaxing holiday.
You can cruise through a world of unspoilt countryside, which doesn't seem to have changed in the last few hundred years.
Cruising the Norfolk Broads is one of the easiest ways to introduce yourself to the wonders of holidays afloat as, unlike the canals, there are no locks for you to navigate.
There are also many riverside pubs, villages, and market towns to moor at, so you can explore the surrounding areas.
There are five main areas on the Norfolk Broads where you can start your boat holiday: Brundall To the west of the Norfolk Broads you have the town of Brundall, which is on the River Yare.
The Yare runs from the county town of Norwich to the west, to the coastal town of Great Yarmouth to the east.
Brundall makes an ideal start to your holiday if you are planning to cruise to Oulton Broad to the south, or Wroxham, Acle and Hickling to the north.
Acle Acle is a 13th century market town, and sits in the very heart of the broads network.
The River Bure runs through Acle, and links to the River Waveney to the south, and Wroxham to the North Beccles and Oulton Broads At the south side of the broads, and just over the border in Suffolk, are Beccles and Oulton Broad.
Both these towns are on the River Waveney, and as such, either of these towns will make a great place to start if you're planning to cruise to Norwich or Great Yarmouth.
Oulton Broad is also a very popular area for yachting, fishing and power-boat racing.
Hickling and Stalham The northern end of the Norfolk Broads have Hickling and Stalham as the start points.
Although the areas around the broads aren't highly populated, the northern end of the broads network is the quietest of all.
Wroxham and Horning Wroxham is known as the capital of the broads, and is in a good position if you plan to cruise to many destinations of the broads.
The slow pace make The Norfolk Broads is a fantastic way to spend some relaxing "down time".
