The region’s pretty villages and ancient market towns are hemmed in by 45 miles of stunning coastline with award-winning Blue Flag beaches. The Norfolk coast is home to seal colonies and wild birds, as well as surfers and kite-boarders. You can go fossil-hunting along the beaches, where archaeologists have found the biggest mammoth skeleton in the UK, as well as the earliest evidence of humans in Britain. Keen birders can expect to see Arctic terns, oystercatchers, and pink-footed geese.
The nearby Norfolk Broads, a network of 127 miles of navigable, lock-free waterways, meander through enchanting marshland dotted with historic windmills. You can explore the many walking trails which have inspired writers and artists for centuries or hire a boat to explore from the water.
