Cromer

Who doesn't love a typical British day at the seaside? Whether it's to sunbathe in the summertime or go for a Sunday morning winter beach walk, Cromer is stunning all year round. There's plenty to do to keep all family members entertained, with quaint gift shops beside amusement stores and family pubs to pop in for lunch.

If you'd prefer to dine alfresco, what better way to grab some fish & chips and sit by the shore? No.1's at Cromer is right by the seafront, allowing you to grab your food and continue marvelling at the sea. Alternatively, if the great British weather is in full force, No.1's also has a dine-in restaurant. Ice cream shops, cafes, and even a cocktail bar - Cromer can be enjoyed whatever the weather.

Wroxham Barns

Shop, eat, play, and pet! Grab some pet food from the junior fun farm and get up close and personal while feeding a range of farmyard animals, in return for them (maybe) allowing you to stroke them. Afterward, head to the park for a family round of mini golf, or watch the kids as they smile and cheer from the rides.

If this jam-packed day leaves you needing energy, dine in the courtyard café, or grab a sweet treat from the Great Fudge Company, one of many small shops at the barns. This award-winning visitor attraction is also close to the stunning Norfolk Broads, making this a must-visit area while in Norfolk.

Watatunga Wildlife Safari

Set in 170 acres of beautiful woodland, fields, and lakes, Watatunga Nature Reserve is dedicated to conservation. With various experiences, from buggy tours to luxury stays, Watatunga is a stunning destination that all ages will love. See endangered species of deer, antelope, and birds, and enjoy being out in the fresh air of the gorgeous Norfolk countryside.
