Local Guide

Positioned in pleasant undulating countryside, the Park is ideally placed to cover an area embracing the famous long sandy beaches and nature reserves of the North Norfolk coast.  It’s also round the corner from the Royal home of Sandringham, the unique Lavender Farm at Heacham, the beautiful Cathedral City of Norwich, Blickling Hall, Houghton Hall, Medieval Walsingham, the Norfolk Broads National Park and the Thursford Christmas Spectacular, to mention just a few local attractions.  The North Norfolk Coast is steeped in history and located on one of the most attractive areas of outstanding natural beauty in the country; in fine weather, a trip to the beach means old fashioned and affordable family fun – bring a bucket, spade, picnic and cash for an ice cream and you’re guaranteed a great day out! Norfolk sums up everything that’s best about holidays at home.
