Wish I had a good answer to that one. Being a #boater I have never tried actually seeing the #Broads by land. Places like #Wroxham and #Horning have plenty of possibilities for #riverside views but not broads.

Most Broads have edges too soggy to have roads near them and most of the banks are in private hands or the hands of organisations such as the #NationalTrust and #Norfolk #Wildlife Trust, whose priorities do not to encourage unencumbered access by the masses.

Malthouse Broad, near Ranworth, must be one of the best exceptions. I've never tried to reach Salhouse or Wroxham by road, but the owner of the first offers moorings which are accessible from a car park some 800yds away and it's probably possible to explore the grounds around the sailing club at Wroxham Broad.

If you don't mind being part of a party then the #NWT do have guided walks at #Hickling.

"The Wash" is the square bite out of the east coast of #England that separates the East Cost of #Lincolnshire and the North coast of #Norfolk.

"The Broads" are the collection of rivers and their associated flooded medieval peat diggings that drain into the North Sea at #GreatYarmouth and #Lowestoft, the most easterly point of England.

Here's the bridge in question, over the #River #Thurne. Headroom at the top of the arch is around 6ft currently. It is downstream of #Hickling Broad, the the largest of the broads, some 1,500 acres. There's also the #Martham #Broad (approx 150 acres) and #Horsey #Mere (82 acres) above it and various other lesser stretches of water. There is some tidal effect below the bridge, sufficient after heavy rain and at high Spring tides to stop water flowing downstream through the bridge and hence keep water levels high above the bridge.
