Norfolk is the perfect destination for a long weekend or longer break at any time of year. The area is filled with things to see and do, and nature lovers come here to explore the Norfolk Broads. Book a stay at a self-catering cottage and make sure you don’t miss out on these activities.
1. Visit Great Yarmouth
The gateway to the Norfolk Broads, Great Yarmouth has been a popular seaside resort since Victorian times. Enjoy a traditional family day out at the seaside. We recommend heading for the beach, for the perfect day out. In the evening try one of several exclusive restaurants for a contemporary twist on traditional fish and chips.
2. Head for Norwich Cathedral
Norwich Cathedral has been awarded a 2014 Certificate of Excellence by Trip Advisor. It is ranked as the number one attraction in Norfolk and No 4 in East Anglia. People loved the beauty of the historic building as well as the warm welcome from staff and volunteers.
Over 900 years old – and in the grounds is Norwich School where Lord Nelson went to school before he became one of our outstanding heroes. We think Trafalgar Day on 21st October should become a National Holiday to celebrate the true spirit of a home grown hero.
3. Go bird watching
Nature lovers will enjoy Titchwell Marsh RSPB site where you can see birds of prey, marsh harriers and more. Free family activities take place during the summer holidays. Or why not take part in a free guided walk?
4. Get back to nature
No visit to Norfolk is complete without a trip to England’s largest nature reserve. Holkham National Nature Reserve is on the north coast and the scenery here is truly breathtaking. From the saltmarsh and dunes to the pinewoods and scrub, you will discover a diverse range of wildlife.
5. Take a ride on the railway
The North Norfolk Heritage Railway offers the chance to take a ride on a steam or diesel train. One of the most scenic heritage railways in the UK, you can enjoy a 10.5 mile round trip. The journey takes you from Sheringham to Holt, through an area of outstanding natural beauty. You can even enjoy afternoon tea and cakes on-board.
