The Broads has always been a place of business, a working History environment where Norfolk and Suffolk artisans and craftsmen have plied their trades - from farming to peat cutting, fshing to transport. It is the business of the Broads that has shaped the magical waterland which holidaymakers as well as residents enjoy A Brief History today. With the arrival of the early middle ages, much of the national woodland was being cut down to accommodate an increasing of the Broads population, sparking a search for new building materials and fuels - and peat would emerge as a primary heat source. National Park In an enterprise that would last for 200 years, peat became big business. They acquired huge rights to peat-cutting. It’s claimed the monks of St Benet’s Abbey used 200,000 bales of peat a year themselves, and there was also regular trade with conurbations of Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Millions of cubic feet of peat would be dug out of East Norfolk. But as the holes got bigger, the sea levels got higher and water fooded into the diggings.

The Broads was born... but it would be another 800 years before its true origins were confrmed

Academic Dr Joyce Lambert had been publishing research on the Broads since the end of the Second World War. Then, in 1952, a colleague, JN Jennings published “Origins of the Broads” in which he claimed that the Broads was a natural phenomenon. Harvest scene from the 1950’s at Gillingham, Waveney Valley But Dr Lambert had different ideas. Through a series of tests, she established that the Broads had fat beds, vertical sides and pathways running through them - all linked to peat digging.

And she won the water wars. The Broads was man-made!

But already the Broads had become a playground for holidaymakers across Britain, all drawn by the romance of a week on the water, an idyll fanned by tales such as Arthur Ransome’s “Swallows and Amazons”, published in 1930.

By the time of Dr Lambert’s controversial fndings a small group of able and ambitious entrepreneurs were carving out successful businesses built around boating on the broads. These include the Blakes, Jimmy Hoseason and Robert Richardson, pioneers of A proud Pike Fisherman The Wherry Albion Broads Tourism who set the benchmark for a thriving industry which continues in good heart to this day. But the Broads is not just about boats. It contains more than 11,000 wildlife species, including the iconic bittern, swallowtail butterfy and otters. It also offers miles of walkways, footpaths and trails as well as many cycle routes. And servicing the busy tourist trade is a cross-section of quality hotels, restaurants, pubs and tea-rooms.

The Broads now has National Park status and is deservedly a proud member of the National Park family, with all that entails for national, and indeed global, recognition of its unique offering in nature, environment and leisure.

The Broads currently attracts eight million visitors a year, Dy Joyce Lambert charting the soil profle contributing almost £570m to the local economy.

Handy tide table booklets are also available from the Broads Authority for £1. Nathan says the simple way to avoid becoming stranded on Breydon’s mud banks is to “navigate within the marked channel”. The channel marker posts have been improved since the Broads Authority took over responsibility for Breydon Water in 2012 and there is no reason to take the wrong course. Broadcaster carries a page on how to cross Breydon Water safely and illustrates the use of channel markers.

Note: When it is not clear where the channel is, it is marked with red and green buoys or large posts. Both types of marker are laid out with red on the left and green on the right moving upstream of a river towards its source. Where a channel divides, the post or buoy marking the fork will be painted black and yellow. Do not moor to channel markers except in an emergency. Remember - never stray from the route shown by the markers or you may run aground.

Recommended Routes

The message that comes across clearly from Broads holiday ‘veterans’ is that you don’t need to plan your holiday down to the last detail!

After all, you’re here to relax and if you are planning an overnight stop at Ranworth and the limited moorings at Malthouse Broad are taken, no worries, cruise on to St Benet’s Abbey instead.

But, to make the most of your trip it is still a good idea to rough out a route plan and itinerary - whether for a short break or the whole week - working out how long each day’s journey will take and being mindful of tide tables and bridge heights, especially if you are planning to pass through Great Yarmouth and cross Breydon Water to the Southern Broads.

To get you started, here are some suggested route plans for a week or short break.

Bear in mind that routes crossing Breydon Water should be timed to coincide with slack water at Great Yarmouth to pass under the low bridges in the calmest conditions.

Above all, remember that this is YOUR holiday. Some of our customers love Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft so much they pencil in a two night stop at Yarmouth or Oulton Broad. Simply tweak the route plan slightly.

Many of these walks will help you trace the contours of the waterways where you can see amazing Broads wildlife, while on others you can stride across remote fen with huge skies punctuated by melancholy mills, weave your way through woodland or explore nature reserves, many of which have the steadying support of boardwalks. Wherever you go, a bankside view will give you a different perspective of the Broads to seeing it from a boat and you can linger for as long as you like. Take your binoculars and you will be surprised at what you can see.

The Broads by Bike

Taking in the spectacular views of the Broads National Park by bike is one of the best ways to see some of Britain’s most beautiful countryside. With a relatively smooth terrain, cycling is a relaxing way to get around and ideal for exploring the quiet, winding lanes and rolling countryside that surround this magical waterland. Peter Howe, owner of Broadland Cycle Hire in Hoveton, is a champion of cycling on the Broads. He’s also the author of the Broads By Bike booklet. Covering the Northern and Southern Broads with a selection of 14 circular routes are designed for all abilities starting at four miles going up to 35 miles (see www.thebroadsbybike.org.uk or ask at one of the Tourist Information Centres in the area). There are nine suggested cycle rides around the northern parts from the Broads’ capital Wroxham, as well as Ranworth and South Walsham, along the River Bure to Neatishead, Barton Turf and Dilham on the River Ant. Plus if you are planning a little seal spotting, there is also a route that reaches the coast at Horsey.

If you don’t have your own bikes, there are several Broadland sites close by where you can hire them, especially over the summer months. A ‘Boris Bikes’ scheme has also been introduced between Hoveton and Ludham Bridge, coinciding with part of the new Three Rivers Way route between Hoveton and Horning which opened in October 2016 and is a safe, multi-use pathway suitable for cyclists, ramblers and wheelchair users.

Broads by Bike The Norfolk Broads is an ideal place to enjoy cycling, with quiet lanes, gently undulating countryside and a unique and beautiful landscape. These combine to make the Broads a truly special place, just waiting to be discovered by cyclists of all ages and abilities. And the Broads By Bike network of 14 circular rides is the ideal place to start. Suggested routes can be found in a Broads by Bike booklet, available from Tourist Information Centres, bike hire centres, attractions throughout the Broads and Pedal Revolution shops in Norwich and Gorleston for a suggested £2 donation which supports Love the Broads, Here we reproduce two of the maps from the booklet.

26 Booking Helpline 01692 668979 BroadsbyCycle A brand new cycle hire scheme has opened on the Broads at three locations near the River Bure. The BroadsbyCycle bike hire scheme is an exciting and innovative bike hire system, operated and managed by well-known cycle hire company, Broadland Cycle Hire. It is an extension of the existing services from the hire centre in BeWILDerwood’s car park. The technology for the operation has been developed by hourbike.com, which has many successful schemes operating in cities around the country including Lincoln, Oxford and Sheffeld. However, the use of the system in a rural area is novel. The hire scheme is part of the Three Rivers Way project which sees the construction of a shared use path between Hoveton and Horning alongside the A1062. The project is a collaborative one, being carried out by Norfolk County Council (NCC) with funding from the Department for Transport, NCC and the Broads Authority. The bikes are locked in electronically controlled docking stations in Hoveton outside the TIC, in Horning near the Swan Inn, and at Ludham Bridge. Bookings can be made on-line at www.broadsbycycle.co.uk. The bikes are available 24/7 for 2, 4, 8 or 12 hour bookings but must be returned by midnight on the day of hire. A membership number is issued when booking together with a PIN code which will release the bikes. This is a pilot scheme to test the operation of the bikes and to evaluate the fnancial viability. If results of the test are positive the scheme could be extended elsewhere throughout the Broads. Other local attractions that can be visited while out for a bike ride on the new bikes are helping by sponsoring some of the bikes. These include Wroxham Barns, the White Horse Inn in Neatishead, The Dog Inn Pub at Ludham Bridge and the Galley delicatessen and coffee shop in Horning Hire fees start at £3 an hour, payable on-line, but you can sign up as a member for lower hire fees. The bikes are comfortable to ride with large luggage carriers, three gears, puncture-proof tyres and a shaft drive to avoid messy chains. For more information, call Peter Howe, of Broadland Cycle Hire, on 07887 480331 or visit www.broadsbycycle.co.uk or www.threeriversway.org.uk

A wildlife paradise There’s no better place than the Broads to get up close to some of England’s best loved and most spectacular wildlife. The Broads boast booming bitterns, playful otters and darting kingfshers, native white water-lilies and rare fen orchids, and this is the only place to see one of Britain’s largest, rarest and most beautiful butterfies, the Swallowtail. Overhead, marsh harriers, hobbies and barn owls quarter the skies. Spring and Autumn bring hosts of migrant birds, and huge focks of waders, and waterfowl spend the winter here. An internationally important wetland, the Broads is a member of the National Park Family, and includes some of Europe’s most special nature reserves, with 28 Sites of Special Scientifc Interest. Our website has further information on nature reserves, cycling and walking, gardens and countryside, pubs and restaurants within the “Area Guide” section. Nature on the Broads

National Parks are our birthright, says Andrea Kelly, Senior Ecologist with the Broads Authority. We cherish them and hand them on to the next generation in, hopefully, a better condition. The Broads is unique to the National Park family, being the UK’s largest protected wetland, with river, fen, marsh, woodland and coastal and estuary places, rich in wildlife to be discovered.

It is the Broads Authority’s job to take care of the wildlife across the whole of Britain’s Magical Waterland, and we have long known that an environment that is healthy for wildlife is also healthy for people. For example, high quality, fresh fowing water in rivers not only benefts our wild fsh, it is also brilliant for people. Residents get lower water bill rises, as wetlands provide free water purifcation and there is less carbon in the atmosphere as it is locked-up in peaty soils. We beneft from enjoying more wildlife, such as otters and birds and the local holiday industry gets a boost because visitors are attracted to a beautiful environment. Over the 20 years that I have been working in the Broads I have seen major improvements in the health of the waterways, so there’s a lot to feel proud of. In terms of water, Anglian Water has invested in waste water treatment. Farmers are taking action to reduce siltation and slowing water fow off the land, which helps reduce fooding and also tops up the ground water storage in aquifers that our crops depend on. In terms of wildlife, conservation organisations have been removing trees and scrub from fens and managing water fows to create the right conditions for our rare wildlife. Image courtesy of the Broads Authority The Broads Authority leads the way on lake and river restoration, removing large quantities of nutrient-polluted silt and developing novel techniques to encourage recovery of fsh and water plants in the lakes. We also lead on large scale fen management with innovative machines, native ponies to graze these wild places, as well as supporting traditional reed cutters, as surprisingly they are rarer than the rare wildlife, but are a vital part of the ecosystem of the Broads.

Book online at www.RichardsonsBoatingHolidays.co.uk 29 Given all this investment you would expect an automatic increase in wildlife, and there have been some gains. However, the picture is a bit mixed. The challenges that face the Broads are complex and have to be seen over the long term. This is how I see it; There are more than 11,000 species in the Broads. Unbelievably 1,200 of these are a priority for special conservation action. Some of our priority species are winners, such as the otter, which is recovering throughout the UK following its near disappearance in the 1960’s. New information suggests we can’t take this recovery for granted as the population has a low genetic diversity and high risk of mortality. Other winners are the hundreds of marsh harriers and around 20 pairs of bittern in the Broads, all a sign that the habitat is getting healthier and able to support predators at the top of the food chain. Some priority species are just holding on and depend on our conservation work. For example, the barn owl almost entirely depends on provision of artifcial nest boxes and farmers leaving rough grass area suitable for voles, the food of the owls. Another example of a species that needs conservation management is the swallowtail butterfy, the largest British butterfy which is truly unique to the Broads.. Like the 66 other species that depend on the Broads for survival in the UK, these are what I call ‘business critical’ species. So a lot of effort is spent on maintaining the rich fens and reed beds that the caterpillar of this butterfy needs for its survival. The swallowtail can be seen in June and, in warm summers, a second batch may emerge from August to September. Single eggs are laid on milk parsley, as swallowtails depend on just one plant, the impact of salt tides or fen drying out is a concern over the long term, with predicted changing climate and sea level rise. It is possible to bring back species from the brink of distinction. One special project the Broads Authority has supported is the return of the amazing Fen Raft Spider, the UK’s largest spider that had become restricted to a small handful of sites in Britain and which would have once been widespread across the Broads wetland. This spider creates nursery webs on water plants, such as the emerging spear-like leaves of the water soldier, found in high quality water in marsh dykes. This is one of the reasons that farmers managing feld run-off around the Broads play such a critical role in the future of wildlife. The species stories go on and on and never stay still. What is the story that you are going to tell about the Broads wildlife? Perhaps the return of the cranes and their breeding success in quiet areas, maybe the spectacle of hundreds of seals and their pups on the beach at Horsey in the winter, or the thousands of wintering water birds jammed into Breydon estuary. Perhaps it will be that you caught a glimpse of a big brown bird that looked a bit like Image courtesy of the Broads Authority a heron that could have just been a rare bittern, or perhaps a cute teddy-bear face of the Chinese Water Deer that is more common here than in China! The Broads is a place of endless romance, endless tales by the river bank. You don’t have to be a specialist to feel part of it. We can also enjoy bird song and you don’t need to know which butterfy or dragonfy is which as they whizz by on their way to a nature reserve. The important thing is knowing that this nature is yours, your families, the next generation’s and secure in the National Park family. So I invite you to look closer, think deeper and smile wider.

With large numbers of people visiting the Broads each year we need to promote sustainable tourism to ensure that we protect this special environment so that everybody can enjoy the area now and in the future and so that the unique wildlife will continue to thrive. We are members of the Green Tourism Business Scheme and are undertaking a programme of measures to reduce our environmental impact. We are reducing our energy consumption through measures such as replacing lighting with low energy consumption lighting throughout the entire company and investigating in solar power on numerous boats. We are managing our water consumption and introducing numerous measures to reduce waste. Throughout the company we are switching to environmentally-friendly cleaning products, particularly on our boats, as we wish to discourage any products (such as cleaners and washing-up liquid) from reaching the water environment. Phosphates found in household cleaners cause luxurious growth of weeds and algae which reduce oxygen in the water, and chlorine causes serious damage to animals and plant life. Please join us in looking after our environment.

Richardson’s supports The Broads Trust which helps fund projects to ensure that the Broads are kept just the way they should be for the beneft of local communities and visitors alike. We make a donation of £1 for each copy we sell of Water to Land which goes towards these worthwhile projects. Conservation of the Broads The whole area is looked after by the Broads Authority which keeps the waterways open and safe for navigation. As well as acting as the planning authority for the area, the Broads Authority ensures that the natural wildlife and habitat is conserved. There are a number of important nature reserves situated in the Norfolk Broads and a trip through these is a must for interested visitors. Details of nature reserves on the Broads can be found on the Norfolk Wildlife Trust website: www.norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk.

Supported by Richardsons and nearly 75 Broads tourism businesses and their customers, the Broads-based charity, Love the Broads, has donated over £40,000 in grants to 20 exciting projects since it was launched in 2012. Photo by Nick Sampford Here are just a few of the many projects that have brought benefts to conservation, wildlife, navigation and understanding that Love the Broads has funded over the past 5 years: • 20 barn owl boxes on the River Yare • Education Tent at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen • Footpath linking to the Wherryman’s Way at Reedham • New visitor moorings at Boundary Farm on the river Bure Please help us to keep the Broads special for future generations and for visitors and local communities to enjoy by supporting our campaign.

Rules of the river boat handling hints and navigation tips There is a Highway Code when you are afoat just as there is on the roads. Please study it carefully and keep to the code – well mannered, considerate cruising is as important as well mannered, considerate driving! Fortunately, accidents on the Broads are relatively rare. These can be partially avoided if all skippers recognise that it is their duty to prevent collisions and avoid trouble – even if another boat appears to be in the wrong. Prevention is more important than insisting on your right of way. Accidents are often caused by excess speed. Keep your speed down, and indicate your intentions in plenty of time. If in doubt, slow right down or stop.

Mooring your boat the right approach One of the most signifcant achievements of your cruising holiday is the way in which you will moor your boat quietly and effciently. For most skippers, that is the norm. However, some feel that mooring has some sort of a mystique. Nothing could be further from the truth.

If not, pass the desired spot and turn around so that you are against the tide, but maintain suffcient power to retain steering control. • As you enter the mooring space, go into neutral and glide in, as you come alongside move the gear lever into reverse and give a few short bursts of the throttle to bring you to a standstill. • Your nominated crew member can then step ashore with the bow mooring rope. • You can make corrections with one or two throttle bursts ahead and DO NOT JUMP ASHORE! use of the wheel.

Ropes REMEMBER Having basic knowledge of how to use ropes is crucial for boating. Here are some essential how-to’s to help prepare you for your holiday. When leaving your mooring, check that there are no ropes dragging in the water.

USING your ropes TURNING a moored boat • Secure a rope to the bank using a stern cleat on the side of the boat, This is useful in narrow waterways. away from the river. • Untie the bow line and the original stern line, and stow away. Keeping hold of the control rope, gently push out the bow. • When the boat is almost at right angles to the bank, keep the rope fairly taut and walk back towards the original mooring site. • The bow will then swing in. Tie up the control rope, take the bow line from your crew member and secure.

DON’T FORGET

• Before retiring, ensure your ropes are well tied. Knots There are really only three basic knots which should be learnt and they - in one form • If used, ensure your rond anchors are frmly fxed. or another - will suffce for nearly every purpose.
