Brought to life by the audio guide. It is well worth reading the information boards at the start and going carefully round with the guide. Visit the castle, too for a fuller picture of life in the past.

Oxburgh Hall

Reviewed By Tanyahst - Portsmouth, United Kingdom

We loved it here! A really interesting house & gardens with some lovely short woodlands walk. The cafe was also good - We had a really nice baked potato & later had a coffee & cake. We also spent some time just sitting in the deckchairs provided to just enjoy the view of the fabulous house. This is definitely one of my fave NT properties & highly recommend a visit.

True's Yard Fisherfolk Museum

Reviewed By Bunhunter

We spent a couple of hours wandering around the displays in the excellent small museum that gives a flavour of not only of the town of Lynn but also the busy thriving fishing and trading port in the days of the past. Do ask directions to the North End as it's well worth a visit and we recommend this hidden gem.

Gooderstone Water Gardens & Nature Trails

Reviewed By 459utel - London, United Kingdom

What a great find. Beautiful Gardens, many different species of flowers, plants, bamboo and wildlife. An oasis to wander through. the coffee shop was open for takeaway because of Covid with enough choice for us. There are plenty of benches to sit and eat. Due to the virus the way is one way and easy to follow. There are so many lovely bridges over water. On the hideaway you could sit and wait to see a Kingfisher. ( we didn't though). I loved all colours of the plants , flowers and grasses. A must for nature lovers. A peaceful retreat in this busy world listening to the water and enjoying nature. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dersingham Bog

Reviewed By B6579IXroberth - Burnley, United Kingdom

This ain’t any bog this is Dersingham Bog, it’s actually a Nature Reserve. If you get chance the chance then go, you won’t be disappointed. The car parks aren’t actually car parks, more like lay-bys. But it’s free. Head for the village of Wolferton, off the A149, either turn off will be okay, which is also wonderful.
