Hotels in the Norfolk Broads

Although waterways permeate much of East Anglia east of Norwich, there are two main groups: the Northern Broads and the Southern Broads.

Largest of the northern lakes is Ranworth Broad. Here a boardwalk nature trail winds through woodland and marshland to the floating Broadland Conservation Centre. This explains the history and wildlife of the Broads and there is a birdwatching gallery upstairs.
Oulton Broad in the south, near Lowestoft, is an attractive stretch of water, with a towpath that leads eventually to Nicholas Everitt Park, and is suitable for both fishing and sailing. Boats can be hired from The Boulevard.

Lowestoft’s Maritime Museum traces Britain’s most easterly point’s seafaring history with model ships and fishing tools, as well as giving a background to the Southern Broads.
Fritton Lake nearby has watersports and fishing, gardens and woodland walks past the ruins of St Olave’s Priory and a working wind pump on the banks of the river Waveney.
