About Norfolk

Norfolk is a remarkable county with just about everything to fulfill the dreams of a visitor.

Under big open skies, it is bordered on two sides by the sea, with more than 90 miles of coastline and a selection of excellent sandy beaches with resorts ranging from the bright lights of Great Yarmouth to the tranquil open sands of Holkham.

Inland, there are the miles of waterways featuring the unique Norfolk Broads and its river network, the historic and bustling city of Norwich, delightful market towns and charming villages in unspoilt rural countryside.

And all around are some of the best nature reserves and wild bird sanctuaries in the country as well as the widest variety of attractions to appeal to every tourist.
