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.

Gifts by the River Bure




Browse a personally selected range of items at the shop truck this summer and autumn. Opening most weekends and certain week days, or by arrangement ~ there are collectable picture postcards by Charles Stenner, candle lanterns, life like bouncing toy eggs and hand crafted letter openers made from locally sourced wood.

Fashion accessories include Lucy Walker's luxury Bertie brand bow ties and handkerchiefs, made from Liberty silk. Plus, a collection of jewellery, handy bags, scarves and hats ~ all found on the starboard, right hand side of the truck.

The port side offers a number of playful gifts for pocket money, including wind up power boats, fishing ~ dipping nets, animal toys, Broadland slime barricoes (barrels), twig pencils (for small or large hands), tuneful whistles, games and much more.

By purchasing from the truck you will be helping secure the future of Heather. Launched during the 1900s as a flat decked military lighter in the Netherlands, she was remodelled into a pleasure houseboat by a gentleman artist in 1928. Heather is a UK registered historic small boat number 1440. Our shared ethos in keeping Heather is to endeavour to be ~ fair, individual, friendly and independent.

We welcome your ideas, comments and suggestions. Please find the little book suspended inside the truck body.
