The Neighborhood:
Horning village, a picturesque broadland village with riverside inns, restaurants, a selection of small shops and tea shops, is within a few minutes’ walk.
One of the best ways to explore this magnificent waterway is by boat. Daily boat hire and river trips are available from the village, with cruises up and down the Broads, where you can take in the beautiful scenery and abundance of wildlife. Held during the summer are several boat races and a week-long regatta where you can enjoy all the boating action from one of the many pubs or restaurants situated along the riverbank.
If you’re a fishing enthusiast, be sure to bring your fishing rods as pike fishing is well-known to be very good between November and January when there is less activity on the water.
For those seeking an active holiday, the marina and leisure club welcomes visitors who wish to enjoy water sports and there are plenty of walks and cycle tracks that take you through the village into the surrounding countryside and nature reserve.
