The Norfolk Broads are a spectacular collection of rivers, plants and wildlife at their best. Visit Hickling Broad, the largest expanse of open water in the Broads system, and it is full of fantastic wildlife including rare swallowtail butterflies, bitterns, cranes, bearded tits and otters. Enjoy a two hour boat trip for all four, going out on silent Reed Cutter boats, which are ideal for minimising disruption to the wildlife. The boat trip takes you across open water, through reeds, to the base of the Tree Tower, from which there is an unsurpassed view of the Broads and Norfolk coast. The Tree Tower is a great vantage point for wildlife watching and there should be plenty of great photo opportunities throughout your day.
