Last week this was exactly what we did (well without the sail), we climbed aboard our Royale Light boat for the week and had nothing but nature and the tranquil waterways of the Norfolk Broads to look forward to.
Here is our accommodation for the week:
The Norfolk Broads has some wonderful ruins, windmills, wildlife and quaint towns to visit.
Below is Benet's Abbey housed by the river Bure the site is a memorial to the monastery that used to dominate the area.
Travelling along the banks of the Norfolk Broads you can view numerous beautiful windmills set against the wonderful countryside.

Trying to navigate past rowers and sail boats at times became a challenge especially when they were out in force.
Standing for over 900 years Norwich cathedral takes centre stage in the heart of Norfolk.
We had an amazing visit and I can't recommend enough the Norfolk Broads as a holiday perfect for nature lovers, those who seek adventure and families.
Every evening we settled down for the sunset and I will definitely miss these the most now that I am back on dry land. What vistas.

Wow, that boat does look intimidatingly big. Lovely photos though. It looks so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteIt is so tranquil, as a blogger not having access to the Internet is daunting but also freeing at the same time Lucy x
DeleteHow lovely :) I've got day boats out a couple of times but never done an actual holiday on the Broads, even though my Mum actually used to work for Blakes Boating Holidays in Wroxham! Simon did a boating holiday years before he met me with a group of friends and he talks about how much he loved it all the time!
ReplyDeleteDid you get to Ranworth or Horning? I think they're my favourite villages on the Broads, oooooh and Coltishall as that's where I went to school!
I'm glad you made it to Norwich, I used to work for a solicitors opposite the cathedral so had a beautiful view out of the office window every single day!
The broads are beautiful, we visited Ranworth and moored up there but didn't visit Horning. How lucky were you to have the cathedral outside your office window Lucy x
DeleteI'm off to Norfolk in a couple of weeks for a christening, such a lovely relaxing town.

DeleteWow, I'm impressed that you skippered this Lucy. Love the shot of the duck on the boat and the sunset

It was rather easy to be honest, the ducks were very cheeky walking around on the boat. The sunsets were amazing Lucy x
DeleteThe scenery looks beautiful, everything by the water looks really peaceful :) I've seen the statues in the cathedral in an back home exhibition before, it was all dark but the statues were lit up and it was so eerie haha. I love all the stained glass though :) xx

It was a relaxing and peaceful break. The statues are quite big and I can imagine in the dark it could be scary. I love stained glass windows they are so beautiful Lucy x
DeleteWhat a lovely break, it looks beautiful! I'd never known anything about the Norfolk Broads before, I never realised it was so lovely x

This looks so peaceful! I used to go down the Shannon in a boat for a week with my family, we never got the weather for it though so it kind of ruined it for me but this looks really lovely!
