How Hill Nature Reserve in Norfolk England
How Hill Nature Reserve is a great place to explore the Norfolk Broads. We took the Electric Eel boat tour on the Broads and then did the How Hill Nature Walk stopping at the How Hill Secret Gardens along the way. I enjoyed seeing the wildlife, especially some of the rare Norfolk Broads birds. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon on the Broads.

Uk The Broads | The Norfolk Broads
The Broads is a network of mostly navigable rivers and lakes in the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk.
The lakes, known as broads, were formed by the flooding of peat workings.
The Broads, and some surrounding land, were constituted as a special area with a level of protection similar to a national park by the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads Act 1988.
The Broads Authority, a special statutory authority responsible for managing the area, became operational in 1989
The area is 303 square kilometres , most of which is in Norfolk, with over 200 kilometres of navigable waterways.
There are seven rivers and 63 broads, mostly less than 4 metres deep.
Thirteen broads are generally open to navigation, with a further three having navigable channels.
Some broads have navigation restrictions imposed on them in autumn and winter, although the legality of the restrictions is questionable
Although the terms Norfolk Broads and Suffolk Broads are used to identify specific areas within the two counties respectively, the whole area is frequently referred to as the Norfolk Broads.
The Broads has similar status to the national parks in England and Wales; the Broads Authority has powers and duties akin to the national parks, but is also the third-largest inland navigation authority.
Because of its navigation role the Broads Authority was established under its own legislation on 1 April 1989.
The Broads Authority Act 2009, which was promoted through Parliament by the authority, is intended to improve public safety on the water.
In January 2015 the Broads Authority approved a change in name of the area to the Broads National Park, to recognise that the status of the area is equivalent to the English National Parks, that the Broads Authority shares the same two first purposes as the English National Park Authorities, and receives a National park grant.
This followed a three-month consultation which resulted in support from 79% of consultees, including unanimous support from the 14 UK national parks and the Campaign for National Parks.
Defra, the Government department responsible for the parks, also expressed it was content that the Authority would make its own decision on the matter.
This is the subject of ongoing controversy among some Broads users who note that the Broads is not named in law as a National Park and claim the branding detracts from the Broads Authority's third purpose which is to protect the interests of navigation.
In response to this the Broads Authority has stated that its three purposes will remain in equal balance and that the branding is simply for marketing the National Park qualities of the Broads.
The Broads are administered by the Broads Authority.
Special legislation gives the navigation of the waterways equal status with the conservation and public enjoyment of the area.
Specific parts of the Broads have been awarded a variety of conservation designations, for instance: Special Protection Area status for an area named 'Broadland' composed of 28 Sites of Special Scientific Interest Environmentally Sensitive Area status for parts of the Halvergate Marshes National nature reserve status for: Bure Marshes NNR Ant Broads & Marshes NNR Hickling Broad NNR Ludham - Potter Heigham NNR Redgrave and Lopham Fen Martham Broad NNR Calthorpe Broad NNR Mid-Yare NNRA specific project being considered under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan is re-introduction of the large copper butterfly, whose habitat has been reduced by reduction of fens.
The Broads, although administered by the Broads Authority, give their name to the Broadland local government district, while parts of the Broads also lie within other council areas: North Norfolk, South Norfolk, Norwich and Great Yarmouth and Waveney district in Suffolk.
For many years the lakes known as broads were regarded as natural features of the landscape.
It was only in the 1960s that Dr Joyce Lambert proved that they were artificial features—flooded medieval peat excavations.
In the Middle Ages the local monasteries began to excavate the peatlands as a turbary business, selling fuel to Norwich and Great Yarmouth.
Norwich Cathedral took 320,000 tonnes of peat a year.
Then the sea levels began to rise, and the pits began to flood.
Despite the construction of windpumps and dykes, the flooding continued and resulted in the typical Broads landscape of today, with its reedbeds, grazing marshes and wet woodland.
Various attempts were made to extend the navigable rivers.
The longest-lasting was on the River Waveney, where an Act of Parliament passed on 17 March 1670 authorised improvements which included three locks, at Geldeston, Ellingham and Wainford.
The head of navigation became a new staithe at Bungay.
The new section was a private navigation which was not controlled by the Yarmouth Haven and Pier Commissioners, who had responsibility for the rest of the Broadland rivers.
It remained in use until 1934 and, although the upper two locks have been
