The Boardwalk at UEA
How we are raising funds to repair this crucial link on our green campus.
The Boardwalk is an important route that links the UEA broad to the University. It was closed in January 2024 due to safety concerns, highlighting the need for it to be sustainably repaired with more durable materials.
Since that time, an alternative route has been in place for walkers to enjoy, linking the UEA broad via the pathway alongside Strawberry Field. Feedback from the community who visit and love our beautiful green spaces on Campus expresses how deeply the boardwalk is loved and how sorely its benefits are missed.
‘UEA’s Development, Alumni and Campaigns Team (DAC) have been working closely with UEA Estates to ensure that this popular circular trail around the broad can be re-opened to the public at the earliest opportunity without compromising on sustainability or disturbing the wildlife.’
Sourcing funding for the Boardwalk is a key priority. The DAC Team is working with the Norwich City Council, Norfolk County Council, and local community groups, such as the Yare Valley Society and Norwich Fringe Project. You can find more information on the boardwalk, its benefits, and how to support the restoration of this nature trail at Restore our Boardwalk.
