About this listen

 Arthur Henry Patterson, a passionate self-taught naturalist, dedicated his life to exploring and documenting the natural wonders of the Norfolk Broads, particularly around Breydon Water near his hometown of Great Yarmouth. Spanning approximately 75,000 acres (117 sq miles / 303 sq km), the Broads represent the largest protected wetland in Britain. AHP authored numerous books on Broadland and contributed articles to various nature societies and journals. He was also a beloved regular contributor to the local newspaper under the pen name John Knowlittle. The chapters of his book, *Through Broadland in a Breydon Punt*, originally captivated readers in the autumn of 1919 through the Eastern Daily Press, leading to their eventual publication in book form due to popular demand. If you have a fascination with nature, sailing, or simply enjoy adventures on the water, come aboard the Yarwelp—a charming 17-foot converted Breydon Punt—for a unique holiday experience as we navigate the enchanting landscapes of the Norfolk Broads. - Summary by TND
