Salhouse Broad is 32 acres in size and is part of the Broads, a member of the National Park Family. It lies on the River Bure, close to Hoveton Great Broad and Wroxham Broad. Unlike most of the other Broads, which were created by men digging for peat in the Middle Ages, Salhouse Broad was created by sand and gravel abstraction. As sea levels rose the diggings gradually flooded, forming the Broads.

Here at Salhouse Broad we offer you the means to spend a relaxing day in a place of outstanding natural beauty. Arrive either by boat on the river Bure from Wroxham or Horning , or by car through Salhouse, parking in the Car Park and walking down the path to the Broad. If you live locally there is provision for securing bicycles, or you could simply walk the whole way! Click here to find us.

Salhouse Broad is open to visitors all year round to boaters and walkers alike. There is no charge to walk the circular route around the Broad, but donations are kindly received and put directly back into the conservation and management of the Broad.

Mooring Fees are collected from March until October with the revenue being ploughed back into the conservation of the Broad.

The Water Taxi is available from Easter until Mid-September to ferry people across to Hoveton Great Broad Nature Trail.

Should you wish to stretch your boundaries and explore the broad further, take advantage of the Canoe Hire at Salhouse Broad, where in a full day hire it is possible to reach Ranworth, stop for lunch and return, all at a leisurely pace!
