Norfolk Broads in 3 days

Britain's largest protected wetland, by hired boat.

The Norfolk Broads are man-made — the flooded peat workings of medieval villages — now Britain's largest protected wetland and an inland-waterways national park. Three days hiring a holiday boat lets you cruise from Wroxham to Horning, Ranworth, Hickling, and back. Add Norwich Cathedral and Castle on either end.
