| Boat Hire. Based at Wayford Bridge on the River Ant; collect your comfortable, weather-proof launch and slowly travel off (confident in your ability to handle your craft as we spend as long on your instruction as you require), past the beautiful Hunsett Mill, beloved by photographers, towards Barton Broad, reputed location of Horatio Nelson's earliest nautical experiences. If you wish, leave the main river and visit Stalham, Sutton or Neatishead - all have their appeal. For longer excursions, Ranworth Broad, Horning or Potter Heigham are all within reach during a day's hire. Enjoy the wildlife - herons, kingfishers, grebes. Bring bread and feel like an aquatic Pied Piper as, instead of rats, the ducks, geese, moorhens, coots, swans and other water-fowl follow in your trail - but be warned, not all the prospective diners are native to the Broads. Take heed of the various Broads Authority information notices regarding which birds should not be fed! Launches may be hired for periods of two hours upwards. Prices, which start from as little as £8 an hour, include maps, lifejackets, fuel, insurance and VAT. Free car parking is available. Dogs welcome on most launches - kept on a lead whilst at the boatyard please. Booking is recommended! Canadian canoes and kayaks are also available - we will give instruction and make sure your compulsory life jacket is fitted correctly. This is the best way to enjoy the quieter canals and streams close to the boatyard. |
