The broad is now owned by the RSPB and is a very important wetland habitat and is a wonderfully quite and picturesque place from which to start you trip, or to stop and do a spot of bird watching or fishing, from the boatyard its only a 40 minute trip from the the open waters of Barton Broad, from here you can carry on down the river Ant passing How Hill nature reserve, with ample mooring its a lovely place for a picnic.

Then on to Ludham bridge and beyond to the river Bure where if your having a full day on board you could visit Horning with its lovely riverside properties and pubs, or visit south Walsham broad or Ranworth Broad, the later has a riverside pub and a church tower that, for those of you with a head for heights you can climb to the top of the tower.

If your plan is for a shorter trip then you can head up the Ant to the quieter waters of Wayford and Dilham , passing the famous Hunset Mil, Or call in at the museum Of The Broads at Stalham.
