Norfolk Borads Boat Hire
Rent your boat on the Norfolk Broads : Brundall, Beccles, Acle, Oulton Broad, Wroxham, Hickling or Stalham
A holiday or short break on one of Britain's waterways is an ideal way of spending some relaxing time. There is no other
break quite like a
boating holiday break.
The maximum cruising speed of 6mph means you don't have any choice, you have to slow down, and relax. It just isn't possible to speed anywhere.
The speed of the boat also means you get to take in the scenery and local wildlife, all at a leisurely space.
Boating on the Norfolk Broads
There are two distinct type of boating holiday. Hire a Norfolk Broads cruiser to explore the broads in East Anglia.
The Norfolk Broads are a popular holiday destination, and have been since Victorian times. The broads make up Britain's
largest inland waterway system, with 125 miles of lock free waterways to cruise. The size of the Norfolk Broads means
that you can hire a boat year after year, and still find plenty to explore.
Boating on one of Britain's Canals
The other type of boating holiday is a canal boating break. Canal boats also offer a fantastic way to explore Britain's waterways.
Explore the historic canals: Cheshire Ring, The Kennet ∓ Avon canals, Oxford and South Midlands Canals, Heart of England Canals,
Yorkshire's Waterways, Llangollen Canal, and Forth & Clyde and Union Canals. Canal boating holidays offer a different experience
to the Norfolk Broads, in that the canals were designed as water ways (The Norfolk Broads are medieval peat diggings, which have flooded).
As the canals were designed to get from "a" to "b", natural obstacles had to be overcome; hence the canal locks for going up or down hills.
The aqueducts, such as those on the Langollen Canal, are another feature of canal breaks. Aqueducts were designed to carry you and your boat
across the valley.
