A holiday in Norfolk can be as active or as relaxing as you choose, the pace of life being in your own hands.
While visiting Norfolk you can visit or stay in The Broads, a network of rivers and lakes in the east of the county extending into Suffolk, with cottages, lodges, houseboats and power boats available for holiday bookings. This area is protected by the Broads Authority who have worked tirelessly to restore this area for the benefit of nature and people. The lakes that make up the areas knowns as the broads were originally peat workings, the peat being used as fuel and sent to nearby towns, this dating back to medieval times. Due to the sea rising these peat pits flooded. Today these flooded areas are home to thousands of species of plants and animals, while providing a wonderful environment for recreational activities including sailing, canoeing and boat based holidays.
The coastal area of Norfolk has outstanding sandy and pebbly beaches, coastal walks and seaside holiday resorts. Throughout Norfolk you will discover beautiful gardens, nature reserves, windmills and houses that can be visited, some managed by the National Trust, others in private hands.
