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.

Daffodil days


Fair priced North Norfolk grown daffodils are available from wharf emporium near Wroxham Bridge in Hoveton, opening most days.

Budding daffodils herald spring more than any other flowering plant.

Daffodils are the symbolic flower of Cymru ~ Wales, one of the component countries of the UK.

The lilting and playful words of the gifted Welsh poet Dylan Thomas echo through time. He deftly describes Llareggub, a small fishing village chocked full of colourful interwoven Celtic characters...

Now behind the eyes and secrets of the dreamers in the streets rocked to sleep by the sea, see the titbits and topsyturvies, bobs and buttontops, bags and bones, ash and rind and dandruff and nailparings, saliva and snowflakes and moulted feathers of dreams, the wrecks and sprats and shells and fishbones, whale~juice and moonshine and small salt fry dished up by the hidden sea.

Under Milk Wood, 1954
