Things to do in Norfolk

Norfolk is a low-lying county along England's eastern coast. It is bordered by the North Sea along its northern and eastern borders, and The Wash to its west. Norfolk is the 4th largest county in England, and though it is largely rural, there are still a wide variety of holiday retreats and interesting sight seeing opportunities for visitors.

Norfolk has a long and rich history, evidenced by the historic buildings found throughout the countryside. Historic buildings include fully restored windmills, castles, heritage homes, churches and more. Throughout most of the county, the era of Norman occupation can be seen through Normanesque features on otherwise Anglican churches, cathedrals and castles. Some historical structures have been converted into modern hotels, some have been turned into tourable tourist locations and others, like the Norwich Cathedral, are still serving their original purpose.

The Castle Acer Priory was founded in 1090, and is one of the best preserved and most significant attractions in Norfolk. In addition to the architecturally interesting structure and religiously moving sanctuary, there is much to see on the priory's grounds. The herb gardens have been fully restored to include the herbs that the monks would have grown for medicinal, culinary and decorative purposes. There is also a large display of relics and artefacts for visitors to explore.

For those interested in camping and backpacking, Norfolk offers a variety of landscapes to enjoy. Overstrand campsight has a children's play area and sandy beaches. Beaches along the eastern coast enjoy some of the longest fishing days in the world, and offer a warm and relaxing place to holiday. Sites further inland have lake fishing, wooded hiking trails, and more. Camping sites are available with caravan hook-ups, tent anchors, and fully equipped cabins.

The best tourist attraction in Norfolk county, which has won several awards, is the Banham Zoo. The Banham Zoo is home to nearly 1,000 animals, housed in both indoor and outdoor exhibits. Animals come from all around the world and include meer cats, tigers, lemurs, penguins and much more.

Norfolk is also home to a number of museums and historical communities, overseen by the Museum and Archeological Service, that are both fascinating and educational. Sites include modern art museums, replica villages with historical displays from various historical eras stretching from the Dark Ages to WWII, castles and more. The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Art is one such location, and offers a wide variety of historical and modern art displays. Several collections are housed at the centre and can be viewed at any time, while other displays, like the Japanese Kingdom of Characters experience are at the centre on loan and available for a limited time only.

Finally, visitors to Norfolk should not miss Great Yarmouth. The premier resort, at the seaside, is rich with entertainment and luxury. In addition to a wide beach, the surrounding villages have unique shopping, fine dining and lovely housing options. There is a horse track, pottery museum, shipwreck memorabilia, day boats, golfing, spa treatments and much more.
