Ludham Bridge to Sutton Staithe, aboard a wherry yacht

This sailing begins at the picturesque, riverside hamlet of Ludham Bridge and journeys along the River Ant to the far north of the Broads National Park. Heading upstream we pass by How Hill, an area dedicated to the conservation of Broads habitats. Approaching from the south you will have a wonderful view of How Hill House, designed in 1905 by prominent Norwich architect Edward Boardman for his family. The river widens as we approach Barton Broad, the second largest of the Norfolk Broads and rumoured to be where Admiral Nelson learnt to sail. This area is rich in wildlife, so keep your binoculars to hand. From Barton we continue upstream to our destination - Sutton Staithe - which lies at the very end of a branch off the River Ant.     

Please park in the first car park on your left as you turn off the A149 signed Sutton Staithe…
