Norfolk
England
Golden sands and big skies
With its charming waterways, unspoilt coastline, bustling seaside resorts and wide open skies, Norfolk makes a wonderfully tranquil break. The dynamic city of Norwich holds a wealth of historic treasures in its museums, galleries and architecture. However, Norfolk is perhaps best loved for the windswept coast, rich birdlife, idyllic marshlands and pretty villages dotting its epic landscapes.

Norwich
The historic city of Norwich has something for everyone. Dotted with medieval treasures, its well-preserved streets are a jumble of cobbled alleys and impressive architecture, topped by its iconic medieval cathedral and the bold block of its castle which has been a landmark of Norwich for 900 years. Vibrant and down-to-earth, Norwich has bustling markets and superb independent shops.
