  • Great Ideas for Discovering the Best of the Broads by Cycle
    Great ideas for discovering the best of the Broads by cycle • On-road cycling routes using quiet lanes, and traffic-free cycle ways • Tips on where to cycle, taking your bike on a train and bus, and where to stop off Use a cycle to explore the tranquil beauty and natural treasures of the wetland landscapes that make up the Broads – a unique area characterised by windmills, grazing marshes, boating scenes, vast skies, reedy waters and historic settlements. There are idyllically quiet lanes and virtually no hills. If you’re touring the Broads by boat, you can stop off for a while and hire bikes from several places by the water, and see some of the area’s many other attractions. Cycling in the Broads gets you to places public transport cannot reach, and you see much that you might otherwise miss from a car or even a boat. It’s also a healthy and environmentally friendly way of getting around. Centre: How Hill (photo: Tim Locke); left and right: cycling round the Broads (photos: Broads Authority) Contents An introduction to discovering the Broads by bike, offering several itineraries in one. It starts with details of using the Bittern Line to get you to Hoveton & Wroxham, where you can hire a bike and follow Broads Bike Trails, or cycle alongside the Bure Valley Railway; how to join up with the BroadsHopper bus from rail stations; ideas for cycling in the Ludham and Hickling area; and some highlights of Sustrans NCN Route 1 from Norwich. The Broads Bike Hire Network of seven cycle hirers is listed in the last section.

  • Norton Marshes to Haddiscoe Dismantled
    This area inspired the artist Sir J. A. Arnesby 16 Yare Valley - Norton Marshes to Brown (1866-1955) who lived each summer Haddiscoe Dismantled Railway at The White House, Haddiscoe. Herald of the Night, Sir J.A.Arnesby-Brown Why is this area special? This is a vast area of largely drained marshland which lies to the south of the Rivers Yare and Waveney. It traditionally formed part of the parishes of Norton (Subcourse), Thurlton, Thorpe and Haddiscoe along with a detached part of Raveningham. It would have had a direct connection to what is now known as Haddiscoe Island, prior to the construction of the New Cut which connected the Yare and Waveney together to avoid having to travel across Breydon Water. There are few houses within this marshland area. Those that exist are confined to those locations 27 where there were, or are transport links across NORFOLK the rivers. The remainder of the settlements have 30 28 developed in a linear way hugging the edges of the southern river valley side. 22 31 23 29 The Haddiscoe Dam road provides the main 24 26 connection north-south from Haddiscoe village to 25 NORWICH St Olaves. 11 20 Gt YARMOUTH 10 12 19 21 A journey on the train line from Norwich to 14 9 Lowestoft which follows the line of the New Cut 13 15 18 16 and then hugs the northern side of the Waveney 17 Valley provides a glorious way to view this area as 8 7 public rights of way into the middle of the marshes LOWESTOFT 6 4 (other than the fully navigable river) are few and 2 3 1 5 far between.
