Great Canal Journeys on the Norfolk Broads

The latest episode of Great Canal Journeys saw everyone’s favourite boating couple Tim & Pru explore Britain’s magical waterland- the Norfolk Broads.

The episode followed the couple onboard the classic 1938 wooden cruiser ‘Lady Christina’ as they took a trip back in time, discovering the history of this ancient waterways network. Highlights of their journey included St Benet’s Abbey – the ruins of a medieval monastery situated on the River Bure. They also visited Toad Hole Cottage Museum at How Hill; the museum is housed in a tiny marshman’s cottage, that would have been home to a family in Victorian times. The couple then journeyed to Great Yarmouth, igniting many happy childhood memories for Timothy West, having spent many a summer vacation by the seaside. They also crossed over to the southern Broads, cruising on the tidal waters to Reedham Ferry.
