Day boats
waiting for customers at Wroxham |
Cruising
is escapism and you can choose from a variety of situations.
The
bustle of Wroxham with day boats eager to see as much as they
can within their allotted time, Salhouse Broad with its tiny
beach, the excited screams of children paddling on a hot summer
day and the boat with a giant plastic cone will come alongside
to sell you ice cream.
In the
evening the paddle steamer cruises round with the on-board band
filling the still evening air with lively jazz. Stalham, Potter
Heigham, the nature reserve and broad at Ranworth. Then Acle
bridge to the Three Feathers (formerly the Stracey Arms) watching
the sun go down and the endless ribbon of traffic passing close
by on the A47.
Catching
the tide for Great Yarmouth and spotting the odd seal on the
mud flats of Breydon Water. Burgh Castle, St Olaves and Somerleyton
all bring different vistas.
The river
opens out into the vast expanse of Oulton Broad with its welcoming
marina.
Alternatively,
take a break at Burgh St Peter then follow the winding Waveney
to Beccles Marina and journeys end at Geldeston lock or from
St Olaves take the new cut through to Reedham with its awkward
currents and attractive roadside moorings. The car ferry clanks
its chains across the Yare further upstream where you can take
the narrow River Chet up to the old mill basin at Loddon.
