A moody sky along the River Wensum today. I love it when the sky is like this, the grey brings out the colour of the buildings so well. #Norwich

A beautifully atmospheric and misty scene captured on the Norfolk & Suffolk Broads.

Would you like to spend a night afloat here, taking in the gentle view, watching the changing clouds evaporate and listening to the distant calls of geese, ducks and coots? 💙

It's 100 years since naturalist Ted Ellis started his nature journals, and until now they haven't been very accessible for the public.

Who knows where about's this historic brick steam engine house is in the Broads?
