Walking in the Norfolk Broads can be enjoyed as part of your Norfolk Broads Holiday, our cruisers and cottages provide a fantastic base for exploring or if you are just visiting the Broads for a day why not hire a day boat for the day and combine it with one of the walks below for a fun family day out.
Planning your Walk
Look up routes in advance
Our Norfolk Broads walking routes below are a great place to start. However if you prefer to get of the beaten track we recommend OS Explorer map OL 40 The Broads.
Consider the time of year and dress appropriately
In autumn and winter paths are likely to be muddy and possibly whilst in summer you might see a lot of stinging nettles.
Be prepared
A good backpack will store your map as well as water and snacks, throw a waterproof and sun cream in there as well and you will be prepared for all eventualities.
Transport
If your walk doesn’t end near your mooring or accommodation or if you are planning a linear walk you may need to consider public transport or a taxi
