Moonriver, Norfolk Broads, NR29 4RG
Comfortably sleeps 4 / 7,
The holiday home is situated a mile upstream of Potter Heigham. Fortunately, the low hump back bridge at Potter Heigham prevents the larger hire craft from coming to Martham so the river is much quieter and less commercialised here. From Moonriver holiday home the river leads up to Martham and Somerton Broad, besides Candle Dyke to Heigham Sounds and the finest sailing and fishing in Hickling Broad and Horsey Broad.
Most of the surrounding fields are Nature Reserves. A wetland bird & nature reserve called Potter Wetland has been created on the opposite bank from Moonriver. It is over 100 acres in size and has been created to help Bitten, all other wading birds, Marsh Harrier, Owl, Bearded Tit, etc flourish in the area. So please bring your binoculars to watch what is going on in the Potter Wetland from our Lounge.
The only buildings that can be seen are very old windmills on the horizon.
This is a very peaceful location without any road noise.
Our holiday rental cottage is available all year round for a holiday ranging from a short break / weekend break to a week or more. I am sure that you like us will want to return to our self catering holiday cottage on the Norfolk Broads.
The small, red roofed hut that can be seen across the fields is used by local eel fishermen who have "Ancient Rights" to fish in the area.
Great area for monster Pike, Bream, Perch, Rudd, Roach, Gudgeon occasional Tench and Carp, etc. The water quality is excellent , thus resulting in a wide variety of water insects which results in large shoals of silver fish, which result in large Pike and Perch in the area.
FACILITIES Moonriver cottage is a river front self-catering holiday cottage, which is approached via a flat concrete path 50 yards from the car park.
A 45.5 Lbs Pike was caught within a couple of hundred yards of Moonriver at Candle Dyke, full details in the Angling Times, we have a picture of it at Moonriver.
