SALHOUSE

Salhouse is a long Broadland village stretched out along the road from Wroxham. The main village is not actually adjacent to Salhouse Broad, but a half-mile path links the village to Salhouse Broad. The village itself is well served with a pub and shop. Salhouse Broad is a lovely place to moor and take a walk on the nearby grassy bank, it is also the only broad to have a "sandy" beach.

Nearby Woodbastwick is a small picturesque village, just to the south of the River Bure. The main attraction is the Woodfordes Norfolk Ales brewery, which is located here. There is a visitors centre, shop and a pub in which to sample a trial pint. The village itself is very attractive, with an open green, thatched cottages and a fine church.

This half mile long path passes through beautiful woodland, with nature watch signs along the way.

Salhouse Broad is surrounded by attractive woodland and is a quiet spot to moor and put the kettle on. You can also enjoy a quiet sail or a walk in the surrounding woods. The broad is a great place to try canoeing and you can hire a canoe and give it a go! A water taxi service operates to nearby Hoveton Great Broad Nature Trail, which is only accessible by boat.

The view over the Broad is breathtaking - even on a November day!

Returning along the path to the residential village of Salhouse, we find a shop & post office and a real mixture of old and new properties.

Just off the main Wroxham road into Salhouse, is the village pub - The Bell - locals tell me that it is currently closed and it 's future is uncertain.

A brisk 30 minute walk from the moorings at Salhouse Broad, brings us to the picturesque village of Woodbastwick. The village contains some pretty cottages grouped around the village green

The main attraction in Woodbastwick is the Woodfordes Brewery and thatched pub, the Fur & Feather. The brewery has a shop, visitors centre and organised tours can be arranged.
