I'm quite lucky that I don't live a great distance from the broads. The broads cover an area of 80 square miles; the broads are home to mile upon mile of waterways. The whole area is quite, beautiful and just so natural. The area is also home to windmills, quite country lanes and delightful country inns. If you do fancy visiting I have listed some of the best places to visit in Norfolk.
Wroxham is a bustling town situated on the river Bure. Wroxham is a popular place for hiring boats, on which you can explore the broads. Wroxham is extremely busy in summer. Whilst your there why not visit the Barton House Miniature Railway, it gives steam rides all throughout the season, kids will love it.
Hickling Broad is the largest expanse of water in Norfolk, the broad also has a large nature reserve, this is run and maintained by the Norfolk naturalist's trust, they have provided a nature trail, and bird watching hides. This is one of the best reserves in the country; you may even spot Britain's rarest butterfly the swallowtail. Whilst your in Hickling visit the Pleasure Boat Inn it still has it's own landing stage.
Ranworth is a good base to explore Ranworth and Cockshoot broads; both broads have nature trails. Ransworth has a conservation centre that floats; the reed-thatched building is reached by a walkway. Inside the centre provides a fascinating introduction to wildlife of the broads, and upstairs there is a gallery that provides excellent views. Another good view is from the tower of St Helens church. This church has one of the best preserved painted rood screens in the country.
Beeston Hall is an 18th century mock Gothic country house that stands north of Hoveton and can be reached by foot from Barton Broad. Refreshments are served in the Orangery and there are plenty of woodland walks.
There is so much to do and see in this area, it's a beautiful part of Britain. If you do fancy going on holiday there, why not stay on a cruiser or even a floating house, it certainly makes a change from staying at a hotel.

I am planning a holiday boating on the broads this summer and the area discription and things to do are helpful, BUT, I was hoping for some info on fishing, where it is best to fish, what types of fish might I catch, what baits to use and so on. Sorry.

You are lucky to live near such a lovely place. It sounds well worth a visit.

I wanted to rate higher as it is in my favouritre section and it is a good op, but it just lacks that little thing oncerning the fishing. Ben :)
