LUXURY HOLIDAY COTTAGES IN NORFOLK
Located in the East of England, Norfolk is in the perfect position to offer best of coast and countryside. With miles of rugged coastline and gently rolling valleys and lush woods, Norfolk appears to have captured all the ingredients of quintessential England. However, there’s much more than the scenery to enjoy, making it a superb destination whether you’re taking a break as a family or are a couple looking to enjoy some quality time together.
The Norfolk Broads
The Norfolk Broads are the county’s most famous attraction and, once you’ve visited, you’ll understand why. The Broads are 125 miles of lock-free waterways, bordered by fertile marshes and tousled woods. Because so much of the Broads are inaccessible by road, the best way to explore them is by boat. There are plenty to hire or charter and you can while away the hours fishing, sightseeing or by simply mooring up in a quiet spot and enjoying a glass of wine.
Markets and Ministers
For a quick trip into Norfolk’s past, a visit to Burnham Market is worth making the time for. The market is held in Burnham, a picturesque flint and brick village, where you’ll be able to buy local produce and hand-crafted items. Alternatively, Houghton Hall offers a fascinating and scenic day out to what was once home to Britain’s first Prime Minister.
Eating Out in Norfolk
Good food has become an integral part of the county’s culture and there is an abundance of fine restaurants to be found here. Morston Hall near Holt offers contemporary fine dining and has certainly earned its Michelin star. If you fancy something a little less formal, seek out The White Horse in Staithe.
