Head east and explore Cromer with its famous pier and Edwardian seafront, or west and discover all the fun of the fair at Hunstanton. Make sure to stop off at all the pretty seaside villages and towns in between.

Closer to home lies Pensthorpe Natural Park, Norfolk’s biggest tourist attraction, which is home to a variety of wildlife and offers garden trails in a sprawling countryside lake and woodland conservation park. The Thursford Collection, with its much celebrated Thursford Christmas Spectacular is also nearby. Travel just a little further and explore the Norfolk Broads, either on a day launch or on an organised tour.
