One of the Broads' greatest rivers, a stroll along the Yare and its connecting channels and broads is always delightful. This section, alongside Whitlingham Great Broad, offers serenity just a short hop from Norwich's city centre. Interestingly, the Yare and the River Wensum meet just to the west of the broad, yet despite the Wensum being longer and wider up to that point, it's the Yare's name that continues onwards towards the North Sea at Gorleston.
