Ranworth Broad is the best place in the Norfolk Broads for wildlife observation, accessible from the village of Ranworth by a woodland boardwalk leading to a floating information centre managed by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust from which visitors can observe cormorants, kingfishers, bitterns, and Cetti's warblers at remarkably close range. St Helen's Church in Ranworth contains a magnificent medieval painted screen and an embroidered antiphoner dated 1380. Hotels near Ranworth Broad in the South Walsham and Acle area provide access to the quieter and wilder southern Broads.
