The Norfolk Broads National Park is a unique wetland landscape of rivers, lakes, and drainage channels covering 303 kilometres of navigable waterway — the largest protected wetland in Britain — where the traditional holiday is a hired cruiser exploring the reed-fringed waterways at a gentle pace past windmills, waterside pubs, and grazing marshes rich in rare wildlife. No licence is required to hire a motorboat and the waterways are entirely flat, making this Britain's most accessible boating holiday destination. Hotels and boatyards in Wroxham, Horning, and Potter Heigham are the main bases for Broads boating.
