Top things to do in Norfolk, UK

Some years a go, I only thought of Norfolk as an English county for farming and fishing. I never associated it with relaxation or pleasure. However, all that has changed since a colleague spent her family holiday there and came back looking and feeling refreshed. At the end of the day, the reason we take breaks is to recharge, take time to unwind, and operate at a much slower pace than usual. Well, for me, that what I want from most holidays. I just love to chill- no stress!

Norfolk has since become one of my favourite destination for a family holiday. What's not to like with its wide expanse sandy beaches and unspoilt nature. You can choose to rent a holiday cottage and visit various sites along the Eastern English coast.

We have stayed in Bay Tree cottage and made a very special holiday there. It was so peaceful and relaxing for a family of 5, that we had to visit again!

Why Go on Holiday to Norfolk?

There are lots of sandy beaches, it's peaceful, cheaper, a perfect holiday that's not far from home if you live in England and so you journey time is shorter than if you were to go abroad, fr example. Lots of relaxing activities to do such as boating, watching the seals, bird watching, walking and more. What's not to like?

First, you'll need a place to stay during your visit and there are lots of places to choose from but personally, I like to rent a holiday cottage that suits my needs.Things to do in Norfolk

There are so many things to do in Norfolk. Here are a few which I've done with my family and would highly recommend.
