How Hill House, completed in 1903, was designed by Thomas Boardman,[1] son of the architect Edward Boardman; he was Mayor of Norwich in 1905–1906. Since 1984 the house has been the home of How Hill Trust, an educational charity.[2] The gardens are periodically open to the public.[3]

The How Hill Nature Reserve is administered by the Broads Authority.

Toad Hole Museum occupies a former marshman's cottage, and also houses the Broads Information Centre.

Boardman's Windmill is a trestle or skeleton windpump, and Clayrack Drainage Mill is similar, only smaller. Just south of How Hill is Turf Fen windpump.
