Norfolk has a spectacular coastline, with long sandy beaches, high
cliffs, sand dunes, flint pebble banks and salt marshes. It is also
well known for the Norfolk
Broads, an extensive waterway that can be fully explored by
boat.
There are many towns
and villages within
Norfolk, all with their own individual characters. The port of King's
Lynn has a long trading history, and today it still has large
trade links with the rest of Europe.
Norfolk is a firm favourite with families because of traditional
seaside resorts such as Great
Yarmouth, Hunstanton,
Wells,
Sheringham
and Cromer,
all with excellent beaches and entertainment.
Norfolk has many historic
houses and museums and over 650 medieval churches, which is
more than any other county in England. There are art galleries,
country parks,
steam railways and bird
reserves, and pedestrianised shopping centres in Norwich,
Great
Yarmouth and King's
Lynn.
Norfolk has something for everybody. If you are looking for somewhere
to relax, or somewhere to explore, you will not be disappointed
when you visit the beautiful county of Norfolk.
