The Broads are a beautiful area of man-made waterways and have become a very popular holiday destination. They were first formed in the twelfth century, when people dug out pits to find peat which was used as fuel for fires. Gradually, as sea levels rose, the pits began to fill with water, creating a unique network of rivers. There is an abundance of wild-life to be found on the Broads - all working together to maintain a successful ecosystem.

Swans, geese, herons, kingfishers, bitterns, beavers, otters, water voles and many more all live in perfect harmony. There are several different types of fish to be seen in the cool, clear waters and colourful butterflies adorn the many sweet-smelling flowers in summertime. Tall bulrushes and reeds frequently line the river banks, as do picturesque holiday homes, often with their own moorings.

These tales tell us about some of the adventures of the Broads wildlife - read on to find out more about their unusual and exciting escapades!
