Recreation
The Trinity Broads support a low-level of recreational activity, including:
- Walking - Access by foot is limited due to the marshy terrain. There is a boardwalk at Filby car park that leads up to a bird hide overlooking Ormesby Little Broad. You can also access the new Filby walkway from this car park, which is situated on Filby Broad.
- Boating - Rowing boats can be hired from a number of outlets on the broads. Essex & Suffolk Water restricts the use of petrol outboard engines, and electric outboards are used instead.
- Sailing - There are a number of sailing clubs on the broads, and some boats can be launched from parish staithes and private properties with sailing rights.
- Access for all - Rollesby car park has a fishing platform available for use by those with limited mobility. The Filby walkway is also accessible by all, and work is imminent to make all of Filby car park area accessible.
- Angling - There are fishing platforms at Rollesby car park and on the Filby walkway. Many people hire out boats to fish from. We enforce the Environment Agency’s close season between 15 March and 15 June and an Environment Agency rod licence is also required for fishing.
