The floating Broads Wildlife Centre at the staithe is reached by a boardwalk and has a panoramic vista across Ranworth Broad where you can view a good number of wildfowl including wigeon, gadwall, teal, shoveler and pochard, and great crested grebes and the occasional kingfisher zip across the water. Hundreds of cormorants roost in the out stretched branches of dead trees, with marsh harriers passing overhead and common terns nesting. The boardwalk passes through excellent woodland and reedbed habitats with a number of interesting plants, as well as common woodland birds. Swallowtails are present, as well as Norfolk hawkers and other dragonflies. Guided boat trips are available between April and October, taking you along a private Broad (seasonal opening and weather permitting).

Summary: Fabulous hosts. lovely tranquil location. The Boat house had everything readily available. The cleanliness was very good with a very thoughtful welcome pack. Lovely short stroll to the waters edge with a local pub, small shop and a boat to offer short trips . A relaxing short break was had and we would highly recommend.
