This complex of rivers and lakes covers a large expanse of the county of Norfolk as well as part of Suffolk. And with more than 125 miles of navigable waterway, it’s no surprise that the Broads are the UK’s favourite boating holiday destination. It’s easy to hire a boat, whether just for the day or longer – by far the best way to enjoy the scenery and wildlife of this vast wetland. There are some great family attractions here too. BeWILDerwood is a fantasy set up in the trees, while Pleasurewood Hills at nearby Lowestoft offers all the fun of the fair. For a more peaceful day out, pay a visit to Somerleyton Hall, an impressive Victorian stately home, or enjoy the shops at Wroxham Barns.
