The delightful city of Norwich can be easily reached by bus, train or car and has a great pedestrianised shopping centre with a unique blend of vibrant market, luxury malls, department stores and tiny independent shops tucked down tiny side roads. With its impressive cathedral, medieval castle, boat trips on the river, theatres, cinemas, pubs and restaurants it’s a great place to visit.
If you fancy the more traditional British seaside experience then Great Yarmouth, about an hour away by car, will be right up your street. The Pleasure Beach is packed with high-tech funfair rides, there’s a model village, wildlife garden, aquarium, you name it, it’s there!
Fans of stately homes will revel in the grandeur of the National Trust properties of Blickling Hall and Felbrigg with their acres of parkland and there is also the privately owned Holkham Hall and its nearby spectacular beach, featured in many cinema and TV films.
For railway buffs there is the narrow gauge Bure Valley Railway and the standard gauge North Norfolk Railway both within easy reach.
