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.

Pleasant Pleasure Boat Inn

Introducing Heather blended water bird food at the restored Pleasure Boat Inn on the sandy shores of Hickling Broad. 

On the doorstep is 1,500 acres of reed and grass fen and waterways ~ admired around the world as one of the most wild and beauty spots. Flocks of waterfowl to be seen include mallard and white Alyesbury ducks, mute swans and other river chicks. 

Custodians of the ancient Hickling Broads Estate ~ Norfolk Wildlife Trust operate boat tours and a boardwalk through the marshes, where rarely seen cranes and bitterns roost in secret enclaves. 

The Inn is accessible by paths, by navigation along the 7 mile long River Thurne, one of the shortest rivers of Broadland, or by road.
