Norfolk Broads guide to Moorings & Overnight Moorining Locations on the Norfolk Broads including Northern Broads, Southern Broads and the Rivers Ant, Bure, Chet, Thurne, Waveney and Yare.

A new 50 metre Broads Authority mooring was opened at the Dutch Tea Gardens in October 2004, providing a quiet spot to stay overnight at the entrance to Oulton Broad, on the Waveney. Some 300 metres of existing 24 hour moorings have been refurbished at Hoveton Viaduct on the Bure.

A new free 24 hour mooring is being built at Whitlingham Country Park on the River Yare ready for the spring, which will give river access to woodland walks, picnic areas, broads, water activity and visitor centres.

The Broads Authority and Broadland Environmental Services Ltd (BESL) are working together to restore moorings at Herringfleet, on the Waveney, while How Hill, on the River Ant, is to be repiled as part of the flood defence works.

New sections of footpath have been built at Aldeby and Worlingham on the Waveney.
Weedcutting was carried out last year at Hickling Broad, Horsey Mere, Somerton, Norwich and Beccles.

New electric Charging points have been installed at Bramerton, Burgh Castle, Coltishall Common, Great Yarmouth Yacht Station, Horning Staithe, Hoveton, Loddon, Ranworth, Reedham Quay, Rockland Staithe, Stokesby and St Olaves.

New 24 hour moorings
Somerton Boat Dyke
New free 24 hour moorings are to be improved in West Somerton ready for the spring bank holiday. The Broads Authority is taking over the lease and refurbishing the 180 m informal moorings in this much-loved and picturesque area at the head of River Thurne. The banks are to be levelled and new mooring posts put in.

St Benet's Abbey
Informal moorings at St Benet's Abbey are due to become free 24 hour moorings by Easter. They are to be refurbished with new timbers on the piling, mooring posts, signage and an easy access footpath built.

Sutton Staithe
A 143 m stretch of moorings at Sutton Staithe was refurbished last spring. The staithe was repaired with new tie rods and safety chains and ladders were added for the first time to comply with the requirements of the Port Marine Safety Code. A new granite pathway has also been added.

Jenson's Island
Work on new 24 hour moorings at Jenson's Island at the entrance to Oulton Broad will begin this spring. The development will have a double benefit in that the cut in the west of the island will be piled at the entrance to take the dredgings from the mouth of Oulton Broad. Once this is filled in a new stern on 24 hour mooring will be created. The £52,000 cost is being paid for by the additional toll funding.

Moorings repaired
Extensive emergency repairs were carried out to 150 m of moorings at Paddy's Lane, at the northern end of Barton Broad at a cost of £40,000. New tie rods, waling and capping were installed and the path was resurfaced in time for the last spring bank holiday.

A 55 m stretch of mooring at Cockshoot Dyke was refurbished in the autumn and work on the remaining 96 m will be carried out in the spring. Irstead 24 hour mooring was also repaired.
