Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The Broads is a low-lying area on the eastern edge of East Anglia, between Norwich and the North Sea coast. Its boundary follows the edge of the floodplain of the rivers Yare, Bure and Waveney and their tributaries as well as the flat, river-valley land and some lower valley slopes to the west. Of the Character Area, 94% is open country and the remaining 6% is urban. Three quarters of the open country is in agricultural use (or 70% of the whole Character Area). Some 8% of the Character Area is woodland and the remainder is open water or semi-natural habitats; 52% of the Character Area has National Park status and 3% is designated as Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty(AONB).
