Norfolk Wildlife Trust revives endangered species: the local pub

Restoration of Pleasure Boat Inn on edge of Hickling Broad makes charity the first wildlife trust to own a pub

It was a much-loved endangered species that desperately needed saving, but it was still a surprise when the Norfolk Wildlife Trust stepped in to revive it.

The nature conservation charity has become the first wildlife trust to own a pub after restoring the Pleasure Boat Inn on the edge of Hickling Broad, a national nature reserve in the Broads national park.
