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.

Herring gulls were observed by boatyard assistant Taylor chasing a flying drone machine aloft of Wroxham Bridge. 

A greylag goose was snagged accidently with angling line on the river between the road and rail bridge. Steve and Tina from Lincoln who were staying at Bridge Broad caravan site, went out on their inflatable dinghy to free the goose. 

Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus), who have gradually increased in numbers over recent years, due to a range of factors, are burrowing more frequently around public spaces on the riverside in Hoveton.

Wroxham Week Regatta took place on Wroxham Broad and hosted by Norfolk Broads Yacht Club. Yachts and motor boats of every description came to town. The view from the banks, or on the water itself is a serene sight, with white sails big and small gliding in all directions.
