The Broads have existed for hundreds of years and it was always assumed that they were natural. In fact it was only as recent as the 1950s when people finally figured out that they were caused by ancient mediaeval peat diggings, which filled up with water when there was a rise in sea level. There's an impressive vista from the tower at Hickling Broad. There鈥檚 quite a variety of terrain: stretches of open water, those are the Broads themselves, reed beds, grazing marshes, but a surprising amount of woodland and miles and miles of little waterways. And of course they always say the best way to see the Broads is from a boat - but unless you can get right into the backwaters it's better to stick to walking along the little trails and boardwalks which take you right into the heart of the marsh.
