Wroxham to How Hill, aboard Ardea

Leaving our base, we'll head away from the bustle of Wroxham with a variety of cottages and grand houses on either side. As we leave habitation behind we'll enter Wroxham Broad, a wide expanse of open water enjoyed by pleasure craft and where birdlife can be spotted.  Sailing through, we rejoin the tree-lined Bure and continue past Salhouse Broad and through the busy riverside village of Horning.  Later, turning up the river Ant, you'll get to see just how we get a wherry under Ludham Bridge as we head towards How Hill - an area dedicated to the conservation of Broads habitats.

This sailing is on our pleasure wherry Ardea, the last wherry ever built, in 1927.

Please park in the public car park at How Hill.  A minibus will collect passengers at 9:25am and drive to Wroxham, where the wherry will be moored, in time for a 10.00am departure.

On board our crew will provide tea, coffee and squash, with biscuits, but please bring your own lunch and any other drinks/snacks that you require.

We operate on "wherry time", subject to wind and tide, and so our arrival time may not always be as advertised.
