Filby
Filby near Great Yarmouth on the A1064 is a pretty village situated on the shores of Filby Broad and Ormesby Little Broad, part of the Trinity Broads. The village can trace its roots back to the Vikings who settled in the area around AD800.
The Trinity Broads are no longer connected to the rest of the Broads network which means they have particularly clear water quality. Sailing, boating and fishing are allowed on these Broads but are carefully regulated as they are also areas rich in birdlife and natural beauty.
Fishing platforms suitable for wheelchair users are available in Filby.
Filby has won the village catergory of the Britain in Bloom competition on a number of occasions and is a mass of colour throughout the year with its wonderful flower arrangements along the roadside.
There are several camping and caravan sites in the area, along with a small parade of village shops and amenities, excellent pubs and a restaurant.
Thrigby Hall Wildlife Garden, a fantastic attraction with tigers, leopards, monkeys and reptiles is next to Filby in the nearby village of Thrigby and is perfect for a day trip for all the family.
