Norfolk Broads Day 5: Crossing Breydon Water & Exploring Burgh Castle

Join us for Day 5 of our Norfolk Broads boating holiday! Today involves the most critical part of any Broads trip: crossing Breydon Water. We leave the peaceful village of Stokesby and The Ferry Inn to navigate the River Bure towards Great Yarmouth. Watch as we time our journey for "slack water" to tackle the vast Breydon Water crossing safely. We also stop to explore the incredible Roman ruins of Burgh Castle (dating back to 300 AD!) before mooring up at St Olaves for some well-earned pizza at the Bell Inn. If you are worried about crossing Breydon Water or want to see the best historical sites on the Broads, this vlog is for you.
