Pleasant surprises often pop up in the most unexpected places, and The Quays in Oulton Broad is definitely one such surprise. Step into the pretty thatched building where the freshwater of the broad meets the sea and you will be greeted by several rooms of the prettiest and most colourful furnishings, gifts, bags, jewellery and clothing in the area. There are wedding and special gifts here that you don’t find anywhere else, as well as a variety of handmade items, leather hand bags, nomadic and cultural clothing, and childrenswear. And with a coffee bar on site with a regularly changing display of local art (plus dayboat hire in the warmer months) there is no excuse not to stop at The Quays, browse and enjoy.
