Top Things to do in Norfolk
The 8 Best Scenic Walking Areas in Norfolk, England
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!

This park is a wonderful place with a vast amount of activities from crazy golf (bring own club), to model boat water, train line, basketball court, athletics track. Kids will be occupied and intrigued, couples can take a stroll and enjoy the view of the different sports occurring. Will definitely be back very soon.

Everything was just perfect. Felt very safe as they have it set up very well and the toilet was very clean, especially for a site of that nature (lots of muddy boots). The walk itself was stunning and we had the best view of the river Wensun. My granddaughter and to be honest all of the adults loved the weir.The walk is set out very well and you get the most lovely end to it as you pass their Highland Cattle, which we all loved. A must for everyone and we cannot wait to return. Well done to all the team:)

Great place to walk along the coast, either along the beach, through the dunes or along the coastal path. We kept our dog on the lead to ensure her safety in case of adders as they may be surfacing now in the lovely sunshine, and probably don’t appreciate being disturbed by sniffing dogs. The seal colony is an amazing sight, just seeing the seals playing and sleeping is a wonderful sight.

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. Lost Village of Godwick
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 2 reviews
Welcome to Godwick, the site of an abandoned village, an Old Hall, a Great Barn and a landscape park. You can explore the grassland beyond the car park, where you can see the remains of medieval streets and properties, a church tower and folly, and marl pits. Six panels form a visitor trail and tell the story of the site and the Cokes, one of the most important families to have lived here.
