Beschrijving

NWT Ranworth Broad is accessible to all and boasts a great visitor centre (which is open in the spring and summer) with wide views over Ranworth Broad. The broad (lake) itself offers chances to see Fuut, IJsvogel and Bruine Kiekendief throughout the year, while the boardwalk trail supports Glanskop, Goudvink and Waterral may also be heard.

In winter, the broad will be busy with feeding wildfowl including Smient, Wintertaling, Slobeend, Pijlstaart and a few Kuifeend. In periods of harsh weather, Roerdomp, Topper and other scarcer species may be seen. The alder trees on the trail from the car park may hold good numbers of Sijs and Kleine Barmsijs.

In summer, there is a chance of seeing a flyover Visarend, but more likely, there will be plenty of Visdief feeding over the broad. Large gatherings of Boerenzwaluw, Huiszwaluw and Oeverzwaluw may also be seen. Listen out for the songs of Tjiftjaf, Rietzanger, Kleine Karekiet and even a Koekoek along the boardwalk trail.

Toegang

There is a small car park available on the corner of Farm Lane and The Hill, but a larger one at The Maltsters Pub available if you drop in there for a quick drink or a bite to eat. The broad itself is accessed via the boardwalk trail. Wildlife boat trips are on offer here, so visit the Norfolk Wildlife Trust website (see link below) for more details.
