Wroxham is known as the ‘Capital of the Broads’. Wroxham and Hoveton are actually two villages, but most people refer to the area as Wroxham.
From here, there are lots of places you can hire a day boat or holiday boat. Mainly, we go to just watch the ducks and the boats, enjoy the water and the lovely walks. The Broads Authority Tourist Information Centre is on Station Road, near Roy’s of Wroxham and there are lots of lovely riverside walks.
On our last visit, there were even special food bags for water birds on display for 50p so we could feed the ducks, geese and swans on our walk. The money went to Macmillan.
There are plenty of shops as well as takeways, pubs and restaurants. You can even use the train if you don’t have a car, as Wroxham is on the mainline railway.
The Broad itself is privately owned but boats can sail through it. If you’re just walking, like us, there is still plenty to see.
It’s easy to drive through Wroxham on the way to Wroxham Barns, or BeWILDerwood or beyond to the beach, but the village itself is really worth stopping at for a visit. It can get busy in the summer with tourists, but us locals can go anytime and enjoy the scenery.
