Now this sounds like a great peaceful break on the beautiful Norfolk Broads. With more “rough” camping available on the river bank, this truly is sustainable tourism and a great way to see one of the UK’s national treasures.
Canoeing on the Broads has proved “a massive success” with 250,000 people paddling the quiet waters since the network began six years ago in canoes part-funded by the Broads Authority’s Sustainable Development Fund, LEADER+ and Community Chest.
“Canoeing is such a wonderful way to enjoy the tranquility and wildness of the Broads and get close to the wildlife,” said Mr Irwin. “In a canoe you will hear an otter before you even see it. Then you can sit quietly and wait to see it. In a big boat you wouldn’t hear it and you’d miss it.”
The canoe hire network, the idea of the Broads Authority, started with six centres throughout the northern and southern rivers and has grown to nine this year.
