NWT Hickling Broad

NWT Hickling Broad is the largest of all the Norfolk Broads, and it harbours a spectacular variety of plants and animals. There are both gentle walks under wide skies for the casual visitor, and fascinating study for those interested in swallowtail butterflies, bitterns, marsh harriers and other rare Broadland wildlife. The two hour Water Trail runs from mid-May to mid-September, takes you into the quiet backwaters of the Broad and gives access to the Tree Tower, from which you get the most fabulous views of Broadland.
