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.

Ramp it up


A lady who cares for bird life in Wroxham has set up a very helpful wooden ramp utilising an old boat brow or ligger board in Norfolk parlance.

Humans have built up the river banks with piling ten fold over the course of a century. With this development, we often forget about nature. Waterfowl for one often struggle to step up sheer vertical quay heading. Perhaps in the future allowances will be made for animal trails ~ what are sometimes called 'wildlife corridors'. For example ~ making sloped access gaps along sections of piling.
