Wroxham Broad

Wroxham Broad is a lake in the Norfolk Broads, a network of waterways and lakes spread across Norfolk in eastern England. The water system allows visitors to navigate by boat and explore reed beds, woodlands, and open moorland around the water.

The area became a center for boating holidays in the late 1800s after railways connected major cities to Norfolk. This growth transformed the region from isolated wetlands into a popular destination for water-based recreation.

The place draws sailing enthusiasts who gather for summer races, continuing a long tradition of water sports in the Norfolk region. This connection to the water shapes how locals and visitors experience the landscape.

Boats can be rented locally, and first-time skippers receive instruction before setting out on the water. Summer is the best season to visit, when weather is stable and you can spend full days exploring without rushing.

An ancient bridge from 1619 is so low that larger boats need a professional pilot to pass safely underneath. This passage is a memorable experience for many visitors encountering this storied waterway for the first time.
