The Broads National Park

Rivers, wetlands, and slow journeys through open water landscapes

Winding waterways, reed-fringed marshes, open broads, and quiet rivers create a landscape unlike any other national park in Britain. Located across Norfolk and Suffolk in the East of England, The Broads National Park is shaped by water, wildlife, and a network of connected routes that pass through some of the country's most distinctive lowland scenery.

The Weavers' Way, Wherryman's Way, and Angles Way explore different parts of the national park, linking places such as Wroxham, Horning, Stalham, Acle, Reedham, Beccles, and Great Yarmouth. Footpaths, riverside trails, and quiet lanes reveal a landscape of windmills, grazing marsh, broad skies, and wetlands rich in birdlife, where water remains a constant presence throughout the journey.

Whether following a riverside trail, exploring waterside villages, or moving between the broads and surrounding countryside, The Broads rewards a slower pace and close attention to the landscape. Wildlife, changing light, and the gentle rhythm of the waterways shape every journey, making it one of England's most distinctive destinations for self-guided travel.
