...about the
Norfolk Broads.

Hi we’re Sara and Tom, your personal guides to the Norfolk Broads

Whether you’re looking to explore by boat, foot, or bike, the Broads provide an unforgettable experience.

Let us introduce ourselves.

Hi, I’m Sara, and I’m part of the Barnes Brinkcraft team and the Twaites family, who have been providing Broads holidays under the same ownership since 1964. I’d like to share my passion for the Broads and help explain why the Norfolk Broads is such a great place to visit and stay.

Tom and I are working on this guide and look forward to sharing all the best bits about the Boards as we develop this guide.

The Broads National Park is one of Britain’s major tourist destinations and also Britain’s largest protected wetland, with 125 miles of water and no locks to stand in your way. The Broads are a favourite with first-time boaters as they offer the perfect combination of easy navigation thriving wildlife, fishing, birdwatching, landmark sites, shopping and picture-perfect pubs along the riverbank.

"Loved our break on tge Broads. Perfect."
- Paula Middlebrook
"Great boatyard for hires. Welcoming, instruction was detailed enough. Boat was good. My only comment would be that it took over an hour of us waiting on the boat to check out and get out on the water. But still highly recommended."
- Mark Donnison
"Well organised, would return."
- Janice M Walker
"Fabulous time boating on the broads. Boat was perfect for us and the dog. Lots of space and well equipped. Really friendly staff and even when we had a minor mishap (captains fault not the boat😂) they were so quick to get us back on the move. Highly recommend and will definitely look to rebook"
