Discovery Hubs are designed to promote The Broads as a sustainable, car-free destination, creating a network that provides a way to explore the Broads on foot, by bike and on the water. As accessible information points, they explain the history, wildlife and landscape of the area and will encourage people to visit the many and varied aspects of the National Park. They are great places to relax and soak up the unique atmosphere of the Broads and to access local services, attractions and experiences.

You don’t have to travel aboard a boat to enjoy the beauty of the Broads – there are many places to visit by car or on foot too. Close to Hemsby Beach Holiday Park is Martham Broad National Nature Reserve, which is home to many of Norfolk’s birds and insects and a great place for nature spotting with the family. Just up the road to the north is the iconic Horsey Windpump, managed by the National Trust, while to the west you’ll find the How Hill Trust, an environmental educational charity located near the village of Ludham. With gardens and wildlife trails to explore, it also has a tea room serving hot and cold drinks, cakes, and ice creams.
