Over seven million people visit the Broads every year, exploring by land or water or a combination of both. There are many different ways to enjoy the area, including sailing, motor-boating, canoeing, fishing, bird-watching, walking and cycling.
Boats are an integral part of the Broads, which is one of the most extensive and varied inland waterways in the country, and one of the most popular in Europe. It offers 200 kilometres (125 miles) of boating on lock-free tidal rivers.
The Broads has been important for sailing and other types of boating since the end of the 19th century. It is a unique navigation system where special inland sailing craft have evolved and where sailing has remained a significant influence.
One of our central responsibilities is to promote public enjoyment of the area. We promote sustainable tourism and 'quiet enjoyment', through our recreation management.
