Broad horizons
Welcome to The Broads, the UK’s smallest national park by area, spanning 117 sq miles of rivers, broads, fens, reedbeds, grazing marshes and woodland across Norfolk and Suffolk. Here, in Britain’s largest protected wetland, there are many rare plants and animals, from water voles, cuckoos and adders to Britain’s largest butterfly, the swallowtail, and the Norfolk Hawker dragonfly – both of which are only found in East Anglia.
