Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. While inditing the following pages, I have borne in mind the well-known quotation from our great poet: -<br><br>To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,<br>To throw a perfume on the violet,.<br>Is wasteful and ridiculous excess. - King John;<br><br>which I consider a most appropriate motto to remember while writing upon the Rivers and Broads of Norfolk. The glorious summer sun does all the gilding, and Nature all the painting and perfuming that is requisite, without any aid from my pen. I have, therefore, simply shown the Broads as they really are, without any endeavour to extol their varied beauties, or to add charms of imagination, when they may be discovered in reality by a brief visit.<br><br>It has been my endeavour to take the reader over the principal navigable portions of the Three Rivers - the Bure, the Waveney.
