Hylander Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Just got to put in a good word about NYS. Yesterday and last night it was full of boats. Good to see. The Harbour Master there deserves a pat on the back. He not only was attending to umpteen pumpouts but was always at hand to help people moor safely. He is there until 7. No problems with the natives. A really happy time spent at Norwich. . . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hope I'm not tempting fate but we have never had any issues at NYS and the harbour master has always been friendly and helpful. I've always enjoyed visiting.Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderwall Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 A trip to the south broads is not complete unless you vist the Norwich. Surely? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 If I were visiting Norwich, & I often do, I would moor at Oulton Broad, for example, & travel there by train. The train journey will allow you to see both the Yare & the Waveney from a different perspective and is full of interest. Alternatively I would consider Cantley, excellent moorings and only a short walk to the station. Norwich itself is well worth a visit for shopaholics but personally I'd head, once again, for Elm Hill, the Cathedral area, the Castle Museum as well as the Market place for an on the hoof meal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retired Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Chinese food stall in the market is well worth a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrundallNavy Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Zak's burger place at the end of the moorings are well worth a visit and they do takeaway if you want to eat on the boat. Never had a problem at the yacht station I think it gets a bit of bad press just follow the Rangers advice and you will be fine. If you have a dinghy then a trip under Bishops bridge is another must do to see Norwich from a different angle. Doug. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellyloo Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Take a walk into the city and you will find loads of restaurants offering all sorts of cuisine to suit all budgets. However there are very few riverside hosteleries so head into the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 True but both Red Lion and Compleat Angler have riverside terraces not to mention Queen of Iceni and Ribs of Beef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwellian Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Although I almost always hire on the Southern side I think the North is so much more superior and even though it is extremely busy during the holiday which is when we have to take our trips I much prefer the North. I would advise everyone to stay North and make me feel lonely all on my own. Love Norwich and NYS but avoid weekends or get the train. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
