HEATHER

Welcome to Heather

Houseboat of character, docked in Hoveton by the River Bure on the Norfolk Broads Waterways.

Heather is cared for by a partnership of friends and family. Our aim is to preserve the distinctive style of the houseboat and enable future generations to enjoy her charms.

Explore the riverside, browse the shops and places to eat and drink ~ and much more beyond monumental Wroxham Bridge.

'Nowt but trouble'

Over the last few years, Heather has found herself in some troubled waters surrounding where she can legitimately berth. Planning law is complex and the Broads Authority have a different approach from the original and noble Great Yarmouth Port & Haven Commissioners, who maintained the navigable rivers when Heather was initially commissioned as a custom 'houseboat' in the 1920's.
