Owned by Kevin and Sue Gardner, Kings Head is a 17th century Inn situated on the banks of the River Bure in the heart of the Norfolk Broads.
At the Kings Head, we have a large car park next to the picturesque village common which runs alongside the River Bure. This stretch of river has free moorings for 24-hours on a ‘first come’ basis, very handy if arriving on a holiday cruiser or a hired boat.
Kings Head is just 5 minute drive or 1 hour 30 minutes boat trip from Wroxham and 20 minutes from the historical City of Norwich. It is an ideal central village to stay for exploring the hidden areas of Norfolk either by foot, bicycle, and boat or by car to visit the many pretty coastal villages.
