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.

Saving and sharing Heather for the future


Heather is a very rare surviving example of houseboat design and construction. Berthed close to Wroxham bridge, she brings a unique identity to the Hoveton waterfront. In an effort to support the upkeep of the boat, proper natural water bird food is sold. Local people and visitors love nothing more than feeding the swans, while soaking up the historical atmosphere of the houseboat and quay side.

We are now in the process of formally transforming Heather into a charity. The aim of this trust is to preserve and restore the houseboat comprehensively and positively increase public use and accessibility on board.
