Wroxham we suggest in
1 hour to go to Salhouse where there are good moorings and nice walks. In
2 hours take your boat to Horning where there is an array of riverside pubs and shops and in
3 hours you can get as far as Ranworth where you can visit pubs, shops, the Tourist Information Centre and the church where if you climb to the top you can see a view of the whole of the northern
Broads.
