Many people pick to take holidays on the Norfolk Broads and enjoy a week or two of fun, relaxation and fresh air on the water.
The Norfolk Broads, situated in both East Anglian counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, were originally formed in medieval times because people dug for peat in the area. After the ground was dug, it later became flooded and the Victorians utilised the resulting waterways for communication of heavy items.
Nowadays, the sole use of the broads is for relaxation cruising and the only cargo is passengers enjoying the waterways.
The Norfolk Broads offer 125 miles of waterway for you to explore, and there are no locks to navigate, just gorgeous scenery and wildlife, and a chance to flee the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The broads are the largest protected area of wetland in the Uk and therefore a very prominent wildlife area.
One of the great things about holidaying on the broads is that it is a real house holiday. Children will love the adventure of being on board a boat for an extended period, sleeping in the petite cabin and setting off each morning for a new destination. Pets are often welcome, too, and so you can enjoy leisurely walks with your dog straight through miles of countryside.
You don't have to be an experienced boating enthusiast to hire a boat for a week and navigate the Norfolk broads. In fact, you don't of course need any perceive at all. The holiday firm you hire a boat from will show you all you need to know, and you'll have an on-board by hand to refer to. Just make sure everyone in the party has a pair of sensible, non-slip shoes, and you're ready to go.
Norfolk is traditionally a very cordial county; old-fashioned in parts, with oldey-worldy pubs but with a vibrant, picturesque capital city, Norwich. You could moor up and witness the city by day, taking in the cathedral and architectural sights by day, and then eating in one of the fine restaurants the city has to offer at night.
Or if you'd prefer to dwell away from the hustle and bustle of civilisation, you can stray at your own pace straight through some of the quieter waterways, stopping off at lovely country pubs for refreshment. There are many group houses situated along the Norfolk Broads just waiting to be discovered, with free moorings and great food and drink to enjoy, as well as cordial locals.
