England’s smallest national park, the Broads features 125 miles (201km) of tranquil waterways and abundant wildlife. Enjoy a drive or stroll through the peaceful landscape dotted with charming villages and windmills, or take a leisurely boat tour.

From Cambridge, the Broads is around 90 minutes by road, with Wroxham and Hoveton the closest villages. The route takes you close to Norwich, which is also well worth a visit thanks to its 900-year-old castle and bustling market selling everything from antiques to food and drink.
