Tickets are sold in advance at Blakeney Quay. NB - Remember to take £3 for the National Trust car park at Morston Quay.

Holkham Hall and Estate

The rolling sands of Holkham beach have been famously used in film and television and are a popular destination. There's a cark park with reasonable charges with immediate access to the beach.

Away from the beach, the dunes and pine forest offer a labyrinth of walks. Near to the car park, The Victoria Inn offers a high class eating experience in true North Norfolk style.

Pensthorpe, Fakenham

Nature reserve, gardens, wildlife and special events. Great for families. Host to BBC‘s Springwatch 2009.

Holt

A charming town with a very historical (Georgian) feel to it and provides a very upmarket shopping experience.

The North Norfolk Railway, North Norfolk

The North Norfolk Railway offers a 10½ mile round trip by steam train (vintage diesel trains on some journeys) through a beautiful area of North Norfolk designated as being of outstanding natural beauty. The railway connects Holt and Sheringham.

Sheringham

A traditional seaside town with plenty of shops to look around.

Norwich

Never too far from most locations because of it's central location in Norfolk, Norwich is a beautiful and historic city offering an exceptional shopping experience. A day in Norwich during your holiday is highy recommended.

Mid Norfolk

Blickling Hall & Park

Magnificent Jacobean house with gardens and park with lake.

The Big Dinosaur Adventure, Lenwade

Offering a fun-packed day of thrills and spills for children of all ages, there's something for every member of the family. As well as confronting the dinosaurs, you can take part in a Scavenger Hunt, Track T-Rex, ride on the Raptor Racers, dig for fossils and follow the Dinosaur Trail.

East Norfolk

Fairhaven Gardens, South Walsham

The Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden comprises 53 hectares (131 acres) of beautiful ancient woodland, water gardens and a private broad at South Walsham in the heart of the Norfolk Broads.

The Broads

The Broads is a fascinating area with a rich history, reflected in the many wonderful places to visit and the unique wildlife. There are restored windmills, medieval churches, beautiful gardens and great places for family visits. If you enjoy walking or cycling, there are lots of routes to choose from. Hiring a boat out is reasonably priced and makes for an exciting experience. Be sure to book ahead in peak times though.

Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park, Corton (near Lowestoft)

Pleasurewood Hills is celebrating it's 25th birthday. I remember visiting when I was a teenager and being slightly disappointed. A more recent visit with my own children showed that they have come a long way since those early days. There are plenty of rides for every age and disposition, lots of green space and a reasonable cost for a full day of fun. A picnic is a great option. And to make it even easier, there's a Tesco supermarket right outside the entrance as you drive in.
