Recreation

Encouraging enjoyable, safe and sustainable exploration of the Broads

Helping people enjoy the Broads responsibly

The Broads is a place for everyone to explore — on the water, on foot, by bike or simply by taking in the beauty and calm of the landscape.


We champion recreation that supports wellbeing, community and connection to nature, while ensuring the landscape remains protected for generations to come.

Supporting access that respects the landscape

We promote and support initiatives that:

✓ Encourage responsible boating and navigation

✓ Highlight safe and sustainable ways to explore

✓ Improve access for visitors

✓ Create opportunities for active recreation
✓ Connect people with quiet places, dark skies and wildlife
✓ Encourage low-impact ways to experience the Broads

Enjoyment and protection can go hand in hand — and we help make that possible.

Inspiring discovery through learning and exploration

Through our Discovery Hubs and other engagement projects, we help visitors:

✓ Access the waterways

✓ Understand local wildlife and habitats

✓ Learn about heritage and landscape character

✓ Find walking, cycling and boating routes

✓ Discover sustainable ways to experience the Broads, including public transport
✓ Connect with hidden stories and special places

The more people discover, the more they care — and the more they care, the better protected the Broads becomes.
