The Broads is a man-made location and has evolved over the last 2,000 years. During Roman times, much of the area of the Broads was under the sea. In the dark ages, peat deposits were being dug from the area and used for fuel. During medieval times, the peat pits began to flood and the Broads began to form. Eventually the peat diggings were abandoned to the flooding.
