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.

Like the seaside, but without the sea

Hoveton combined with Wroxham has many similarities to coastal resorts, albeit more sheltered. Going back in time, the settlements, located on higher ground were closely connected to the open sea.

Evidence from the Roman occupation suggests the rivers were much wider ~ and watercraft traversed the seas extensively to the continent and beyond. 

Here and there mini sandy beaches and grassed banks can be found. Promenades of sorts with multiform delights exist on the highway leading from Wroxham Bridge up to Roy's Stores and along the angular route of Hoveton Riverside Walkway, from King's Staithe up to the railway viaduct.
