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.

Lines of action


On Wednesday morning Alan Williams from Brynithel, South Wales noticed a mute swan with a line hanging out of it's bill.

Oh Crumbs Sandwich Bar in Hoveton telephoned ~ a few minutes later Paul came with a net and accoutrements and the bird was soon grasped with minor struggles from Granary dyke. Thankfully the line was loosely snagged and no harm was done.

Alan was on a boating vacation, yet revels in helping animals in trouble. He spends a good deal of time volunteering at Socelex Trinant Sanctuary nestled in the steep valleys of South Cymru.
