If you’re looking for a holiday in the UK where you can enjoy walking, cycling, shopping, sightseeing, boat trips, canoeing, sailing or just relaxing on a beach, then one place where you can find all this is Norfolk. The gently rolling countryside of Norfolk is filled with ancient churches, windmills and picturesque villages with beautiful traditionally thatched holiday cottages to stay in. From here you can enjoy the woodland, forests, rolling chalk lands, coastline and the watery patchwork of the Norfolk Broads.
Norfolk has many great attractions dotted around the county, you defiantly won’t be short of things to enjoy and will probably wish you could stay for longer, whether your interests are historic buildings, wildlife parks, military museums or working steam railways. There are many fun adventures to be had for families with young children as well with zoo’s, sea life centres, nature parks, wildlife gardens and even a camel centre thrown in there!
There are some things that Norfolk is renowned for, such as the Norfolk Broads, which is a vast expanse of wetland and the third largest inland waterway in the United Kingdom, it is also one of the UK’s National Parks, although referred to as the Norfolk Broads, it also stretches into Suffolk, where it is known as the Suffolk Broads. The total area is 117 square miles, most of which is in Norfolk, with over 120 miles of navigable waterways, which make a great place to stay for a boating holiday.
If boating isn’t your thing and you prefer to travel by steam then can enjoy the railways and light railways of Norfolk, they include the Mid Norfolk Railway which is East Anglia’s longest heritage railway linking the market towns of Wymondham and Dereham. Or The North Norfolk Railway (The Poppy Line) which is a full size steam heritage railway which offers spectacular views of coast and country.
