LOCAL INFORMATIONEast of England
The Norfolk Broads
are 125 miles of navigable waterways; the UK’s largest nationally protected
wetland, and an important area for wildlife. If you feel like exploring, there
are small boats to hire or riverside paths to cycle along. There are nature
reserves to visit and pretty villages to explore. Norfolk has award-winning seaside resorts Cromer,
Sheringham, Hunstanton and Wells, with traditional sandy beaches, safe shallow
water and masses of amusements.
Norwich is Britain’s
most complete medieval city - with fascinating museums, a magnificent
cathedral, a Norman castle, cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and the
Coleman’s Mustard Shop too
Visit Suffolk for a totally
relaxing holiday or short break. While here, take a walk along Lowestoft
seafront, gaze up at Southwold Lighthouse; visit the Norman castles at Orford
and Framlingham and discover Sutton-Hoo - of Britain's
most important and atmospheric archaeological sites - the burial ground of the
Anglo-Saxon kings of East
Anglia. Away from the coast, the picturesque
market towns of Stowmarket and Sudbury
(the birthplace of Thomas Gainsborough) are worth your time too.
