The Broads were originally thought to be an area of natural landscape. However, extensive research took place in the 1960’s which proved that the Norfolk Broads were actually created by man! As a result of flooding following early peat digging, over sixty Broads and six distinct rivers were created. What better way to explore these waterways than by boat.
