New for 2019 from April 6th!
Dad's Boats has teamed up with Martham Ferry Boatyard to bring you The Pedal Boat for 2019.
Situated in one of the quietest stretches of the Norfolk Broads, Martham Ferry Boatyard offer day boats and picnic boats for hire, so you can explore the stunning rivers and broads that are full of wildlife.
Address; Martham Ferry Boatyard, Staithe Road, Martham. NR29 4RG.
Directions; Approaching Norwich take the A47 (Norwich southern bypass) towards Great Yarmouth, continue to Acle, then take the A1064 at the roundabout towards Martham.
After about 1.7 miles Turn LEFT on the B1152 (Signposted Martham).
After a further 1.7 miles turn RIGHT (Signposted Martham) this brings you to an offset crossroads, proceed ‘straight’ across (Signposted Martham).
Continue into the village ignore the signpost to the Staithe and Boatyard and continue into the village, immediately past the pedestrian crossing turn LEFT onto Staithe Road and LEFT again after about half a mile onto Ferrygate Lane, follow the road round until you reach the river and Martham Ferry Boat Yard.
There is free parking available on site.
Alison at Martham Ferry Boatyard says;
“The boat is sleek and stable and allows two people to relax in her comfortable seats and pedal their way along this quiet unspoilt stretch of the River Thurne.
It is surprising how little effort is needed to achieve quite a pace! Come along and have a go – see if you can spot the kingfishers and otters.
It’s an easy pedal to Potter Heigham for a picnic, ice-cream or exploring all the village has to offer. Hickling and Horsey Broads are a longer pedal where you can visit the pubs or even walk to the sea!"
