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.

Out of the murky depths...


A curious metal box, resembling a safe ~ used by bean counters and similar to one of the water bird food boxes, was laying in the muddied shallows of the old trading wherry dock at King's Staithe. When recovered, the mystery chest was found to be a small electric oven, with a few river snails (Viviparidae) attached ~ such is the fascinating range of aquatic life in Broadland.

A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.
