The Norfolk Broads in winter

 Photographs of the Norfolk Broads – It is such a joy to go out on a ramble and capture the beauty of the Broads with my camera.

The Broads are very important for wildlife. Much of the fenland and open water, as well as large areas of grazing marsh, are designated as sites of European Importance for wildlife.

The Broads are a network of mostly navigable rivers and lakes in the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk.

The Broads are Britain’s largest protected wetland and are home to a wealth of wildlife,especially birdlife.

The late Ted Ellis, a local naturalist, referred to the Broads as “the breathing space for the cure of souls”.

The river Waveney is a considerable river, and of a deep and full channel, navigable for large barges as high as Beccles; it runs for a course of about fifty miles, between the two counties of Suffolk and Norfolk
