Family Attractions Days Out
The memory of a holiday on the Norfolk Broads or on the Coast stays with you for ever as you relive your appreciation and recollections of East Anglia's natural beauty and wildlife. When you take time-off from boating, hiking or bird watching there's a varied selection of places to visit. The ancient cathedral city of Norwich or University town of Cambridge, both with their perfect blend of historic and modern architecture, are a must for the visitor to explore and to shop in. The fascinating seaside resorts of Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Cromer and Kings Lynn are all easily accessible to the visitor, as are an abundance of interesting smaller market towns and villages. Wroxham, the 'capital' of the Broads area, boasts the largest village-store in the world!

East Anglia can provide areas of wilderness where the bird life and wildlife can be observed almost undisturbed by all Twitchers. The coastline is often backed by dunes or marshes, the Breckland to the south has a virtually deserted pine forest and sandy heaths.
The Norfolk Broads are very low lying so riverside land tends to be rather damp, therefore suitable campsites are few and far between, but here are the contact details for sites available.
There are other countryside walks in the region, outside the immediate Broadland area. The major paths include the Heritage Coast, Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast path, Wensum Valley Project,Wash Coast path and the Great Eastern Pingo Trail.
