Handbook to the Rivers and Broads of Norfolk & Suffolk

Handbook to the Rivers and Broads of Norfolk & Suffolk, written by George Christopher Davies at the turn of the 20th century, documents a two-week boating holiday through Britain's largest protected wetland. The Broads, a network of navigable rivers and lakes formed from medieval peat excavations, serve as vital water-highways linking inland towns to the sea-ports of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. This work highlights the unique ecology and history of the region, including the distinctive Norfolk Wherry, which has been integral to local transport since the late 19th century.
