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.

Birds can be temperamental like all animals. Waterfowl, especially mute swans on the Upper River Bure will invariably approach people by paddling up to the river bank, or even waddle up on the land. This is a habit formed over a very long length of time, due to the fact that the noble birds here are semi~domesticated. The swan colony has been used to human management and company for centuries.
