Join the Broads Authority Rangers for a Boat and Boot trip on the River Waveney as part of the Walk Norfolk 2026 Festival

Come along for a memorable day of exploration, starting at the beautiful Beccles Quay. This unique experience combines a guided riverside walk with a serene boat trip along the River Waveney aboard the Ranger patrol launch.
