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.

Carols for dove pigeons


Carol lived up to her cheery festive name on a blustery Christmas Day by checking around Hoveton river frontage for potential dove pigeon patients. A similar sweep was done at Norwich Provisions Market by volunteer animal aficionados. 

Ten pigeons were found on Granary Staithe alone, with toes wrapped in very unpleasant twine and a couple suffering with canker infections.

Feral dove~pigeons take a lot of rap from some quarters of humanity. One has to really consider who has the problem at the end of the day...
