Intertitles

Another day begins of England's famous waterways - the Norfolk Broads. Breakfast is eaten with relish and the 8.22 is forgotten. The final chore before moving off. Another unusual sight - a chain ferry. The ferry connects the villages of Reedham and Handley Cross. Cattle grazing on the lush pastureland makes a pretty scene. Big Ocean going vessels are often seen, particularly between Yarmouth and Norwich. A beautiful example of the larger type of motor cruiser. Oulton Broad Yacht Station - a popular overnight mooring point, and a favourite spot for the angler. Not a whopper, but there's always the chance of a big 'in. Many people consider Salhouse is one of Norfolk's prettiest Broads. Its shallow waters are considered completely safe for children.Many happy hours are spent by the children at Salhouse. A moored craft makes an ideal springboard for a refreshing swim. With radio switched on, the cruise is resumed. The picturesque village of Horning. The windmills, used for pumping, are now powered by electricity and oil. A yacht's graceful lines makes a pleasing picture.The variety of the craft is a feature of the Broads. Every twist and turn of the river brings a new vista.Wroxham Broad is a fine sailing venue. Racing is held throughout the summer.With the setting sun, we conclude our cruise on England's wonderful waterways - the Norfolk Broads.
