  Cockshoot Broad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cockshoot Broad lies on the River Bure within The Broads National Park in Norfolk, England, it is one of several Broads where boats aren't allowed at any time of the year, although they can moor up at its entrance.
Before it was turned over to a nature reserve it was one of the most dilapidated broads with large amounts of silt clogging it up.
The silt was dredged and the Broad has been returned to the way it looked some 100 years ago.
