Norfolk Broads

Wetlands, Waterways, Wildlife, and Riverside Routes

From the broad waters of Hickling, Barton, and Wroxham to winding rivers, marshes, and reed-fringed landscapes, the Norfolk Broads contain a diverse network of routes, landscapes, and places shaped by water, wildlife, and centuries of connection between people and the landscape. Trails such as the Weavers' Way, Wherryman's Way, and Angles Way reveal many of these environments, while landscapes including Hickling Broad, Ranworth Broad, Horsey Mere, and the wider Broads National Park showcase some of the area's most distinctive natural environments.

Long-distance routes pass through wetlands, grazing marsh, riverside landscapes, nature reserves, woodland, and historic settlements, linking places that have shaped the character of the Norfolk Broads for generations. Together, these routes and landscapes reveal the diversity of the area while providing opportunities to explore at a slower pace through self-guided travel and independent exploration.
