Broads by bike
The Broads and surrounding countryside are the ideal place for cycling. Quiet roads, gentle slopes, beautiful countryside and fresh air, all combine to make cycling a real pleasure.
There are plenty of pretty villages within easy reach, with ancient churches, wind pumps, pubs, cafes and other attractions to enjoy. You can even make it to the nearby coast, with its rolling waves, dunes and beautiful sandy beaches.
Above all, there are stunning views of the Broads, with sails gliding across marshland fields, all beneath the spectacular skies for which the area is famous.
Further information Leaflets for other Broads bike trails in the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads are available from bike hire centres and the Broads Authority.
The Broads Authority is responsible for navigation, conservation, planning, tourism and recreation in the Broads. t: 01603 610734 e: [email protected]

safe cycling
✱ This is not an off-road route, you will meet cars and other vehicles on these roads during your trip.
✱ Take care crossing and using main roads.
✱ Please ride in single file on busy roads, and never more than two abreast on others.
✱ Remember to signal before manoeuvring - other road users need to know.
✱ Please keep to roads, bridleways and byways - footpaths are for pedestrians.
✱ Give pedestrians and horses plenty of room and slow down as you pass - horses can be easily startled, and may not hear you coming.
✱ Wear a safety helmet, and bright reflective clothing even in daylight.
✱ You must use lights after dusk - it’s important to be seen. Check whether you have time to complete your route in daylight before you start.

Wherries
With their black wooden hulls and massive black sails, trading wherries once sailed the Broads in their hundreds. Their design evolved over decades, making them the most efficient means, at one time, of transporting local goods throughout the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads. They also linked with coastal vessels bringing trade to Great Yarmouth and Norwich.
As rail and road links improved at the end of the 19th century, the wherries turned to the Victorian leisure industry to make a living. These great but simple vessels were gradually replaced by ‘pleasure wherries’ and ‘wherry yachts’ - white-sailed and built for style and comfort. Look out for these beautiful vessels - a reminder of days gone by.
Barton Broad
The second largest broad and site of the Broads Authority's millennium project – Clear Water 2000, which has restored the water quality and landscape of the broad.
