004 - Reedham To Yarmouth
from Handbook to the Rivers and Broads of Norfolk & Suffolk · host George Christopher Davies
Discover the enchanting Broads, Britains largest protected wetland, teeming with diverse wildlife, from vibrant fish to captivating birds. This intricate network of navigable rivers and lakes, nestled in the picturesque counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, was born from centuries of natural flooding of medieval peat excavations, covering an impressive 303 square kilometers (117 sq mi). These waterways serve as vital links between the City of Norwich and charming inland towns like Beccles, Belaugh, and Barton, connecting them to the bustling sea ports of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Experience the unique Norfolk Wherry, renowned for its shallow draft and iconic gaff rig, which has historically transported goods and passengers through these scenic routes. Join me on an auditory journey as we embark on a two-week waterborne holiday, exploring the breathtaking landscapes and expansive skies of this remarkable region. - Summary by Wikipedia and TND
