About the day
This sailing begins at How Hill - an area dedicated to the conservation of Broads habitats. Keep your eyes peeled for swallowtail butterflies and Konik ponies. From How Hill, we sail up the River Ant passing small picturesque riverside village of Irstead, with thatched cottages. Keep the binoculars to hand for marsh harriers and more. Our destination is Barton Broad, the second largest of the Norfolk Broads and rumoured to be where Admiral Nelson learnt to sail. Barton Broad is rich in wildlife and there will be time to disembark and explore before returning to How Hill.
A stop will be made en-route, typically at one of the surrounding staithes, for lunch. Meals and other refreshments are provided fresh from the How Hill kitchen. Lunch is served with wine or a soft drink. Morning and afternoon hot drinks are accompanied by either homemade biscuits or some of How Hill's…
