Wroxham - Oulton Broad - Wroxham
Seaside, cathedral cities and sailing are all aspects of this lovely coastal cruise on the Broads. From Wroxham, head to Oulton Broad via the Rivers Bure, Yare and Waveney. By the coast at Oulton Broad spend some time at the Lowestoft Maritime Museum and see the international Sailing Craft Association’s fascinating display of boats from every continent. For a change in pace, the seaside resorts of the east coast are also only a short cruise away. Children and the young at heart won’t want to miss out on some fun at Great Yarmouth, the region’s premier seaside resort. Or follow the River Yare to visit the wonderful cathedral city of Norwich. You can moor in the heart of the city and visit not one but two cathedrals and wander its cobbled streets to shop and explore at your leisure.
Base manager Edwin Harper welcomes you to Wroxham. The tranquil Norfolk Broads has over 120 miles of lock-free cruising on unspoiled English waterways. The Broads connected by canals and natural rivers were created when the sea level rose 700 years ago, filling up medieval peat pits. The area’s flat, so a boat sailing on another river in the distance can look like it’s moving through the fields!
