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.

Flight of the greylag geese


Over the last few days a large flock of greylag geese have flown in formation over Hoveton. The natural spectacle occurs from around 6.00 to 9.00am, heading up the Bure valley and returning down river at around 8.00 ~ 9.00pm. Sightings have also been made of the greylags flying over Sprowston at the break of day.

The geese make a distinctive honking call. In unison the yawping noise resembles a mashed up brass band ~ and is well worth looking out for.
