"Local expertise is the best way to discover any countryside, and here it is in words and pictures. Discover the Norfolk Broads by foot, bike, and of course boat. I did over 50 years ago and still keep coming back for more!"

Welcome to our guide to Discovering the Norfolk Broads. We hope you get as much enjoyment out of using it to explore the Norfolk Broads as we have had in putting it together.

What’s so special about this guide?

Well, it has been designed and written by people living and working in the Norfolk Broads, in response to many people asking us where the Norfolk Broads actually are.  We all know they exist, you can see them on any map, but finding them can prove difficult.  The guide reflects our years of experience in discovering the Norfolk Broads for ourselves, and all of the suggested days out have been road-tested‚ by us and our families, most of them many times!

Also, it is not an advertising brochure.  The ten days out described in the guide are our best practical ideas to help you get the most from your visit to the Norfolk Broads.  They are designed to provide an opportunity for you to explore various aspects of the National Park area, its landscape, wildlife and people, with an emphasis on getting out of the car and experiencing the Norfolk Broads at first hand.
