Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden
About
Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden is a 130‑acre haven tucked into the heart of the Norfolk Broads, celebrated for its rolling woodland trails, sparkling waterways and a legendary 950‑year‑old King Oak Tree. The garden offers a tranquil escape, with 4 mi of accessible paths dotted with wildlife, picnic spots and the quiet charm of the private Broads harbour. Visitors can drop into the family‑friendly tearoom for a bag of cream tea, light lunch and a refreshing break before exploring the gardens again. Daily on‑site boat trips wind through the inner broad, letting guests glide past reed beds and birdlife, while paddleboarding, wild swimming and guided canoe trails are available for those eager for a bit more adventure. Visit Fairhaven year‑round, but its best moments are in spring and autumn when the wildflowers peak and the wildlife thrives, making it a truly peaceful retreat for all ages.
