Norfolk Sights

Norfolk is one of England’s many beautiful regions. Located just two hours northeast of London by train, Norfolk makes for an easy weekend trip from the UK capital.

Norfolk is known for its flat, open land and maze-like system of waterways called the Norfolk Broads. Small towns with old churches dot the landscape and make for beautiful scenery. Beaches and stately homes–including the queen’s Sandringham–round out the landscape.

Getting around Norfolk is best done by car, as there are lots of small towns to visit and train and bus transport in the region can be cumbersome.

Hotels and B&Bs are plentiful in Norfolk, and the culinary scene boasts of some great Norfolk restaurants.

Norfolk gets busy in the summer months when people flock to the area to rent boats on the Norfolk Broads, but spring and fall are also beautiful, and the small villages make the area a cozy and beautiful escape in the winter months.
