So the weather is getting a little less 'Summery' and the nights are drawing in, it may not seem like the best time of year to go on a boat holiday on the Norfolk Broads, right? Wrong.
It's actually almost an ideal season for a boating trip! The Broads are generally less busy, making it less competitive for free mooring spaces and less time waiting for your afternoon grub.
There is still plenty to do and see, so I thought I'd provide some events not to miss and must see things to experience for a bit of holiday inspiration! Barton Charter Yacht Regatta: An annual yacht regatta is due to take place from the 8th October to the 15th October on the Norfolk Broads next month.
The event is an established series of sailing yacht races taking place on the Barton Broad.
Experienced yachtsmen are able to hire sailing yachts from Upton or Horning for the week, enter into the competition and enjoy some competitive spirit! Communal social activities are also scheduled for the evenings of the regatta period, including the prize giving and regatta dinner.
Barton Broad: Barton Broad is the second largest Broad in Norfolk, reputedly Admiral Nelson's sister once lived in Barton Hall and Nelson himself learnt to sail on this Broad.
It's is brimming with wildlife, being part of Britain's largest nature reserve.
