Angling
Many people prefer to hire a boat for angling on the Trinity Broads, and there are also are fishing platforms free of charge at Rollesby Bridge (A149) and Filby Bridge (A1064). Both of these locations have car parks and fishing platforms that are accessible to wheelchair users. Please remember you need an Environment Agency rod licence and the Broads closed season is from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. You can find out more information in our leaflet Fishing by boat and land on the Trinity Broads, available in local rowing boat outlets, or to download here
Walking
Walking access is limited due to the marshy terrain. A footpath at Filby car park on the A1064 leads up to a bird hide that overlooks Ormesby Little Broad. On the other side of the road from this car park there is an easy access boardwalk over Filby Broad. You can also park and picnic at a car park by Rollesby Bridge on the A149.
Volunteer
The Trinity Broads Volunteer Wardens meet regularly to carry out practical conservation work, for example coppicing and brush cutting. They also assist with wildlife surveys, running events and general patrols of the area. We are always looking for new volunteers and any time you can spare will benefit this important site.
