The Three Rivers Cruise

Horning > Oulton Board > Horning

Seaside, cathedral cities and sailing are all aspects of this lovely coastal cruise on the Broads. From Horning, head to Oulton Broad via the Rivers Bure, Yare and Waveney. By the coast at Oulton Broad spend some time at the Lowestoft Maritime Museum and see the international Sailing Craft Association’s fascinating display of boats from every continent. For a change in pace, the seaside resorts of the east coast are also only a short cruise away. Children and the young at heart won’t want to miss out on some fun at Great Yarmouth, the region’s premier seaside resort. Or follow the River Yare to visit the wonderful cathedral city of Norwich. You can moor in the heart of the city and visit not one but two cathedrals and wander its cobbled streets to shop and explore at your leisure.

Wroxham

Wroxham is considered to be the capital of the Norfolk Broads, and is where boating holidays started in the late 1800's. It has become quite commercialised over the years with hotels, tea rooms and gift shops springing up near the river to attract holidaymakers to the village.�

Horning

The picturesque village, whose origin dates back to Roman times, consists of a mixture of shops, boat yards and thatched cottages. Along the banks of the river are several luxurious riverside properties. In and around Horning there are several interesting shops, pubs, hotels and places to eat and one can while away the time watching the activity on the busy river.

Ranworth

This is a most attractive overnight mooring, with a pub conveniently situated close by and a small general store on the quay, ideal for provisions. Here also is the The Broads Wildlife Centre - remarkable thatched timber building floating on a pontoon.

South Walsham Broad

The picturesque Broadland village of South Walsham, with its thatched cottages and a village green is about a mile from the Broad and makes a pleasant stoll. The churches of St Mary and St Lawrence share a churchyard, and there are some attractive stained glass panels in St Marys Church to see. There are some very pleasant walks and an abundance of wildlife to be seen.
