On The Water

The southern Broads are known for their quiet tranquillity and wide open space as they pass through Norfolk & Suffolk's marshland.

Whether you are staying on our Park or visiting for the day, Waveney River Centre is an ideal departure point for cruising the tranquil waters of the southern Broads, with the pretty market town of Beccles just 1.5 hours upstream and Oulton Broad with its large children's park about 20 minutes downstream. Somerleyton with its famous stately home and maze, and the riverside village of Reedham are other popular destinations within two hours' cruise. The historic city of Norwich - one of the UK's top 10 retail destinations - is just 6 hours away, through some beautiful countryside.

We have a range of boats to suit most budgets and requirements, from rowing boats, canoes and kayaks to day cruisers with galley, WC and cabin. Buoyancy aids and fuel or paddles are included in the price and you will be given tuition before setting off on your adventure.

The Broads Authority have produced an excellent video guide to boating on the broads, covering an overview of the Broads as a boating holiday destination through to detailed instruction and guidance on boat handling. The guide is available for viewing here.
