The Mysterious Broads Of Norfolk and Suffolk
When you visit England, be sure to visit that unique stretch of interlinking lakes and rivers, lying in East Anglia, known as the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads. Until fifty years ago, their origins were a mystery and - even now - the answer might surprise you.
The Wherry - Workhorse Of The Norfolk Broads
Before the coming of the railways - or even tarmacked roads - the wherry was the main mode of transport on the rivers of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads. The story of their demise is sad, but not entirely gloomy.
Smugglers Of The Norfolk Broads
The 3,000 miles of British coastline are rich with stories of smugglers, in days of yore. But few are as high born or ingenious as the smugglers of the Norfolk Broads.
Arthur Ransome And The Vacation In Norfolk
The Norfolk Broads are the setting for five of Arthur Ransome's children's books, written in the 1930s and 1940s, which still delight children of all ages today. In fact, its not uncommon to meet three generations, grandparents, parents and children - all Ransome fans drawn to a vacation in Norfolk.
