The 10 Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Norfolk, England

May 29, 2021 Elouise Mccaul

A holiday in Norfolk is not a glamorous break. While the Norfolk Broads of East Anglia are a beautiful part of the UK, they represent a relaxing rural getaway rather than a high-powered city-break. Although its reputation is mostly rural, with people associating the county mostly with the wetlands of the Norfolk Broads, there are also towns such as Norwich and King's Lynn to visit, both of which provide shopping opportunities, nightlife and entertainment. Norfolk also contains a large stretch of coastline, and seaside destinations such as Cromer and Great Yearmouth mean there are great beaches to be found as well. Many areas of the Norfolk Broads and the coastal region are sites of outstanding natural beauty, and are also protected as bird reserves, so take a pair of binoculars on holiday. There are also popular wildlife attractions such as Banham Zoo, with a great collection of big cats, and Great Yarmouth's Sea Life Centre, one of the biggest of its kind in the country, complete with tropical sharks and conger eels. And of course, if any of your family are interested in boating, you'll need to rent a boat and explore the waterways of the Broads themselves!

Took some friends and children,haven't bee for a few years as you have to have the children as an excuse. Jack Jay and Johnny were very funny, every act was excellent,the children loved the motorcyclists how brave are they there act was spectacular the whole show from beginning to end was greeted with cheers.The show was packed so we did have limited seats but we sat up the top and had an excellent view.A little bit pricey at £15 for children and £23 for an adult we got ours from the tourist information office i think they maybe slightly cheaper.We went to the afternoon performance and as it was raining kept the children amused for a couple of hours.

We were staying in a lodge in Norfolk and due to Covid-19 all the onsite activities were closed, we found the details for Grey Goose Archery online and I can highly recommend them to all. The booking process was quick and easy and when we turned up it was all organised and set up ready. Sean was super informative with a good sense of humour and made the whole experience fun and easy! Even managed to snap a great picture of me and my partner aiming which was a lovely touch! Well worth the price and if we ever booked to stay in the area again we would 100% do it again!

Cryptic Escape

Cryptic Escape is the first real-life escape game in Norwich, UK. Based in the historic Augustine steward House. You are locked in a room for 60 minutes and you need to find a way to escape. There are a lot of objects, codes, hidden hints, that can help you to get out. You have to be smart and think out of the box to solve the puzzles you find. In a team you have to think together, work together and most importantly laugh together.

this was our second visit to an escape room ,we did the greenbeard pirate room and were "captivated" from the start .Assisted via screen with a few helpful hints ,we could kick ourselves for missing some ,which were obvious and others which we would have never achieved .The puzzles were a variety of challenges and we are hooked to complete more .The premises were in keeping with covoid guidelines and we felt adequately protected
