 | | Some of Norfolk's rivers have for a century or so been important recreational resources, particularly the Broads rivers, when the landscape of their valleys has been an important contributor to people's enjoyment of the rivers. |
 | | Elsewhere, however, in a lowland county where road communication routes are not significantly constrained by relief to follow river valleys as they are in the uplands, the valleys tend to be appreciated in discrete areas where they contain settlements as at Norwich, Thetford, or Castle Acre for example or where they are crossed by roads. |
 | | Landscape The Broadland rivers and their associated valleys have long been recognised as being of national importance and the short valleys of the Glaven, Stiffkey, Burn and Heacham rivers contribute towards the designation of north Norfolk as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. |
