About

The Broads By Bike network consists of sixteen circular rides – nine exploring the northern Broads area from Wroxham, Ranworth and South Walsham along the River Bure, to Neatishead, Barton Turf and Dilham on the River Ant, with lots more in between. There is even a stretch of the network that reaches the coast, at Horsey, with its sand dunes and impressive seal population. 

The Broads National Park is a place of winding rivers and open broads. Away from the water is equally magical in its own way; it complements the waterland and there is no better way to explore it than on two wheels. It is an ideal place to enjoy cycling, with quiet lanes, gently undulating countryside and a unique and beautiful landscape.

Along the way, you can visit wildlife centres and nature reserves, enjoy riverside walks and boat trips along the 120 miles of lock-free waterways. There are also many scenic villages to explore, with ancient churches, traditional wind pumps and other attractions to enjoy. A wide variety of refreshment stops can be found along the way including traditional village pubs, tea rooms and cafés, many serving locally produced food and drink. Or stop off to enjoy a picnic, at one of the many scenic locations.

The overall boundary route covers 58 miles, and with links to off-road routes connecting with the Bure Valley Railway Path and National Cycle Route 1 via North Walsham and Aylsham, the Broads by Bike network enables all cyclists alike to plan a rewarding trip.
