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.

Duck hospital appeal


Many may be unaware that in localised areas, the length and breadth of the country, autonomous wildlife rescuers spend inordinate amounts of time collecting and rehabilitating sick animals.

The creatures are often found in a wild, or non domestic location. Leanne cares for a colourful collection of waterfowl, specialising in ducks at a sheltered water garden, several miles from Wroxham Bridge. 

Leanne is crowd funding for a new duck hospital cabin at her duck sanctuary. 

"We now have 80 plus ducks, mainly all rescues. Some have leg injuries ~ being hit by cars, abandoned, blind... all sorts. We're also getting increased amounts of calls for help for others ducks and chickens.

Support for this cause is really needed ~ It's just me and my husband and we are really in need of a facility now to quarantine waterfowl and help these animals back to health with the support of our vet."

For further details and to support the duck hospital cabin please contact Leanne here ~
