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.

Flags flying aloft in celebration of the Elizabethan eras


The Red Ensign flutters aloft on the houseboat roof, alongside Royall’s crown pennant and the golden gated vane of the Pleasure Wherry SOLACE, for the occasion of Her Majesty The Queen's birthday and the anniversaries of the Bard, William Shakespeare ~ thus linking the reigns of two Elizabeths. 

It is a time tinged with great sadness, not least because of the death of Victoria Wood, beloved comic writer ~ performer and one time resident of Craven in Yorkshire.

HAMLET, Prince of Denmarke: A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a King, and cat(ch) of the fish that hath fed of that worm. 

William Shakespeare
