Discover the Beauty of the Norfolk Broads
Explore the charm of Langley Dyke, a picturesque stretch spanning 1 ¼ miles. Langley Staithe is off the River Yare which is part of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads. This tranquil location offers scenic views over the marshes to the south and glimpses eastwards toward the Cantley sugar beet factory. Nestled away from the main river, the temporary moorings at Langley Staithe provide a quiet and pleasant setting.
To the north of the staithe lies the historic Langley Abbey, dating back to the 12th century. Recently restored, the abbey now serves as the headquarters for the Norfolk Polo Club while remaining open to the public.

Our temporary mooring names
Our moorings are named after the eight surviving wherry boats Albion, Maud, Solace, Hathor, Ardea, Olive, Norada and White Moth. Today, many of the surviving Norfolk wherries can be spotted gracefully navigating the rivers and broads, while some await complete restoration. Among the eight remaining examples of recreational and commercial sailing wherries, seven proudly hold a place on the National Register of Historic Ships.
In general, the Norfolk wherry, is a type of sailing boat utilised on The Broads in Norfolk and Suffolk, England, which evolved through three main types during its existence. Each type is characterised by the iconic gaff rig, featuring a single, high-peaked sail and a mast positioned well forward on the vessel.
