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.

We all live in a watery world


Northern Producer 4, a former oil rig emergency lifeboat berthed at the old Hoveton and Wroxham Advancement Association Free Moorings.

In response to rising sea levels and a raft of multiple local issues, not least a dire lack of adequate boat house facilities (due to intense development of Broadland over the last half century); Heather's team has 'taken the plunge' and utilised a lifeboat to help resolve these inponderable quandaries. 

Northern Producer, or Uafás can be seen at various locations on the riverside. 

On a dampened Friday, a number of people of differing ages stopped by to look at the intriguing vessel. Many were curious as to the eventual use of the iconic lifeboat, with much delight, ideas and suggestions were in abundance.

We welcome all manner of joyous and practical suggestions. Anyone can come forth and place their ideas here ~

Andrew, Scarlet
