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.

Lost and found


Recently, it was a personal delight and pleasure to welcome my sister Yvonne to the riverside. The last time I'd clapped eyes on her and my other two siblings was literally forty years ago, before we were all adopted in the rugged West Riding of Yorkshire. This reunion came about after receiving a letter at home from PAC~UK, an independent adoption support service.

Like anyone, familial bonds are important. After a long time has passed, it's been fascinating to discover shared traits like a love of water and the coast, a random sense of humour, as well as irritating medical things like deafness.

The Hoveton waterfront has and continues to provide a wonderful meeting place for friends and family ~ making memories that can be cherished for a lifetime.
