In Happisburgh (pronounced Hazebrough) is the Happisburgh Owl Sanctuary (run by a lovely lady called Sandra, and her friend Darwin), if you like owls it’s an absolute must, a little pricey at £50.00 for the first two people in your group and £30.00 thereafter (our kids are grown up so we do not know the family price if there is one), but it is EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD good value for the money as Sandra is not a clock watcher (our 3hr visit went for 5hrs) and refreshments are included. Sandra only does ONE presentation a day, and it is by appointment and it is for one family or, one or possibly two couples (like our presentation) ONLY. Booking is essential as Sandra DOES NOT do “walk in” visits. Sandra starts by giving a short presentation with slides that explains how she got into caring for owls, and then introduces the ten birds she has brought in for you to handle, during which light refreshments (hot/cold drinks, cakes/quiche/sausage rolls/etc.) are served, and are available throughout you visit. After the presentation, Sandra and Darwin move onto the introduction to, and handling of, the birds themselves, ranging from the European Eagle Owl (BIG!) down to the Little Owl (miniscule compared to the Eagle Owl), after being introduced to each owl and holding them, things progress to feeding. Sandra gives a quick demonstration by feeding one of her owls with a dead mouse (slow motion video is a BIG plus from this point on), then moves on to having owls fly from a perch to your hand to accept food from you (small bits of meat). After which a trip outside for photos with a nice backdrop (her garden), and to see the remaining owls Sandra could not bring into the house. Sandra has some fascinating birds, and some very unusual ones like a Black Barn Owl (Sooty is gorgeous and quite the character), you get the privilege to handle these beautiful Birds of Prey, and have a fabulous day out.

We enjoyed a really relaxing walk around these woods while staying in Bacton. Lovely woods, free parking, very quiet and our dogs had a great time. Great walking routes well marked and easy to follow (take a photo of the map though before laving the car park just in case!)

6. North Walsham & Dilham Canal Boat Tours
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
Take a guided boat tour of Norfolk's only sailing canal, built in 1826, onboard an electric boat named after the last commercial vessel to sail the route. Tours last around one hour and can be arranged at a time of your choosing, with boats thoroughly cleaned between uses and Covid secure measures in operation. Tours embark from Ebridge Mill car park, from where a steerer guides passengers upstream, taking in the wildlife and providing background history of this fascinating waterway. From its hay day, busy with working wherries, to years left abandoned, to its current period of restoration, the North Walsham and Dilham Canal has had quite a history. This boat tour is the perfect way to learn more about the waterway and support its ongoing restoration, with all money helping funding the charity that operates the canal: The North Walsham & Dilham Canal Trust.

Following the relaxation of some of the Government’s Covid-19 measures we’re very happy to announce that JR’s will re-open on 9th July. We’ve got outdoor adventure play; the A-maze-ing Maize Maze, the JR’s giant sandpit beach and NEW this year is the JR’s Giant Chalkboard, plus of course deliciously tasty All-American Dine-in or Dine-out treats too. (Sorry, STOMP Indoor Play and STRIKE tenpin bowling cannot re-open at present). Get lost in the JR’s Maize Maze – let off some steam as you wind your way around the paths. Discover the beach in our G-I-A-N-T sandpit! The perfect place for the grown-ups to “chill out” in a deckchair while watching the kiddies play play play.Look out for our NEW giant Chalkboard – it’s huge, just perfect for chalky scribbles, perfect for taking some selfies to share with friends and family. The Maize Maze Picnic Benches are a great spot for the family to get together and relax. Please double-check opening hours before making a special journey.
