The Norfolk Broads are located within the triangle of Norwich, Lowestoft and Sea Palling. It consists of around 200 miles of linked rivers and waterways that are well-suited to sailing and boat cruising. Norfolk Broads holiday cottages are hugely popular with holiday-goers - see the featured property below and follow the link for Norfolk Broads cottages, from the UKs most successful cottage rental agents, Cottages 4 You.
It was thought that the Broads were formed by glaciers millions of years ago but research has now shown that they are the result of man-made diggings for peat and turf. This practice is recalled in the village of Barton Turf.
The Broads can only truly be appreciated by hiring a boat and using its waterways to explore the unique region - many of the channels are actually set below the surrounding countryside. Boats can be hired from a selection of Broads towns such as
Wroxham and Horning.
The area also has reminders of a Norman past in the form of 14th century churches such as Rollesby church and St Michael's of Beccles. These old towns, fringed by boats and waterways have a real charm to them. Book Norfolk Broads holiday cottages/self catering holidays on the Norfolk Broads below.
