Climb aboard and join us for a magical journey through the Norfolk Broads in the summer of 1990 — a time when holidays were simple, slow-paced, and filled with charm, lacking in digital tech, wifi, mobile phone signals, in fact lacking in mobile phones!
This restored home video captures the essence of a classic British boating holiday so very popular back then, with real 1990s fashion, styling and atmosphere along one of the UK’s most beloved waterways.
🚤 What you'll see in this video:
📍 Wroxham – Known as the "capital of the Broads," we begin our trip in this bustling riverside town, with its traditional boatyards and riverside shops.
📍 Horning – Cruise past quaint cottages and riverside pubs like The Swan Inn, a favorite stop for moorings and a pint.
📍 Wroxham and Salhouse Broads – A peaceful detour to visit some of the off- river waterways.
📍 Great Yarmouth - At the mouth of Breydon Water, with its limbo style low bridges to negotiate.
📍 St. Benet’s Abbey – A hauntingly beautiful ruin on the riverbank, rich with history and mystery.
📍 Acle & Breydon Water – Watch as we navigate wider waters, spotting sailing boats, wildlife, and enjoying tranquil sunsets.
Beccles - A quaint village steeped in history
And much more!
👨👩👧👦 Relive moments of fishing off the stern, duck feeding at moorings, making tea on a tiny gas stoves, and waving at fellow boaters — all set to the backdrop of reed-lined rivers, weeping willows, and that unforgettable 90s camcorder grain.
