Places within out borders are often overlooked as tourist destinations, but Britain has some wonderful counties, cities and towns to visit. One such county which is full of interesting and exciting things to do and see is Norfolk.
The East Anglian destination attracts visitors from all over the country and beyond, with its luscious countryside, historic towns and the Norfolk Broads. Here are the top 5 reasons to pick Norfolk for you summer getaway:
1) Places to Stay
The first thing you need on holiday is a place to stay, and Norfolk has quite a choice. There are 5 star hotels such as Kelling Heath, a host of B&Bs, barn cottages in beautiful countryside and you can choose between catered or self catering. Hemsby [http://www.self-catering-holidays-norfolk.co.uk/] is one such Norfolk town that has a great choice of accommodation for visitors.
2) Places to Visit
So once you're settled in a lovely cottage or hotel you'll probably fancy heading out and seeing something. If you want culture there are galleries and museums, such as Swaffham Social History Museum; if you're an animal lover you could pop over to Redwings Horse Sanctuary or Africa Alive! Safari Park; or if you are a history buff (or a fan of Jurassic Park) you might fancy Dinosaur World: a Dino-style theme park day out.
3) The Countryside
The Norfolk countryside is one of its greatest assets. It is lush and green and punctuated by quaint, historic villages. It is, of course, also home to the Norfolk Broads. If you take to the water you can cruise through this salubrious setting and relax completely.
4) The Seaside
If you follow the path of the broads to the east you will, after some time, reach the North Sea. Everyone loves a trip to the seaside and thanks to its location, Norfolk has loads of coastal towns and beaches to visit, where you can get your bucket and spade out or take a dip.
5) The City
Norwich city provides a busier place to visit than the outlying towns, where you will find a plethora of shops, cafes and yet more cultural attractions, such as Norwich Cathedral. The city is also packed with great bars and restaurants to ensure that your fun-filled days can be followed by fun-filled nights.
As well as the above enticements, Norwich is the nation's premier ornithology destination so if you're a twitcher you will no doubt already be aware of the reasons
