Top Things to do in Norfolk
What to do and see in Norfolk, England: The Best Forests
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 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.

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!)
