A UK national park has been named the “worst” of its kind, amid accusations of it being “flat, muddy and boring”.

Despite this, visitors still flock to the region during summer, with it being home to many posh areas that Londoners love to migrate to.

The “big boys” of the Lake District and Cairngorms were safe from the label – but in fact the worst rated was a southern National Park often dubbed “The Venice of the East”.

The Broads – which straddles much of Norfolk and a bit of Suffolk – is a vast 303 square kilometre area with a total of seven rivers and 63 broads.

It is located on some of the lowest-lying land in the UK – land which might soon be underwater entirely – and is most commonly known for leisure boating, as people cruise slowly around the endless water passages.

Nevertheless, boat cruising activities aren’t for everyone. One person wrote on Tripadvisor that “the whole experience is poor”.

They said: “We went for a top-of-the-range cruiser, but found the ‘cabins’ were so small it would have been most uncomfortable for two people to share.”

Commenting on the National Park as a whole, the reviewer said: “In between the villages and pubs are interminable miles of nothing but reed.

“If the weather is poor, then you are going to have a very frustrating and potentially boring holiday.”

All the waterways are lock-free, which means that, in theory, anyone can row, paddle or even swim the entire waterway system, which is all connected.

However, keep in mind that boats need a compulsory licence to go on the water, in an effort to protect the natural environment there.

Aside from the water, the Broads are packed full of pretty towns and villages.

Visitors flock to Wroxham and Horning, where you can grab an ice cream and wander round the beautiful nature.

Of course, a trip to the National Park doesn’t restrict you to its territory, and the Royal Family don’t live too far away either.

Sandringham Estate is located on the North Norfolk Coast , and the Royal Parkland and Courtyard facilities are open all year and free to visit, although parking charges apply.

If you’re in need of a visit to a bigger place, the city of Norwich is nearby too.

You can visit its castle and wander round its meandering medieval streets after sampling food at its historic pubs.
