Beighton and the surrounding area
The village of Beighton is mainly known for its fourteenth-century stone and flint church. Guests can enjoy boating excursions on the Norfolk Broads, the nearest of which is just five minutes from the house, with Filby Broad in one direction and Brundall in the other – which is home to East Hills Bistro, a fantastic place to stop for some food and drink, whilst overlooking the boats and broads.
Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden are a few miles from the house, a secret hideaway with four miles of woodland walks, plants and wildlife. The gardens are a hotspot for rare birds. You can also hop aboard Primrose, the garden’s Edwardian-style river cruiser and glide along the river for 50 minutes while catching a glimpse of the historic ruins of St Benet’s Abbey.
Just outside Norwich is Whitlingham Broad, a watersports haven that will keep the family happy. There is canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing and sailing available, or you can go for a good old-fashioned open-water swim.
The bustling market town of Norwich is just fifteen minutes away with its picturesque lanes, buzzy market, cultural displays and dining treats. And, of course, there are our two famous Cathedrals and Norwich Castle, which the Normans built as a Palace over 900 years ago. It is now a museum and art gallery where children can discover more about East Anglia’s Queen Boudicca. The Museum of Norwich is packed full of exhibitions and interactive displays, or why not enjoy taking the hop-on-hop-off bus to see the city?
Great Yarmouth is lively with an endless list of entertainment and places to eat – not forgetting the Pleasure Beach with its infamous Snail ride, a nine acre amusement park, the Time and Tide Museum and the brilliant Hippodrome Circus – one of the last purpose built circus buildings in the UK. Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens is a must if you love animals, and Pettitts Animal Adventure Park has something to do with children of all ages.
Not far away is Lowestoft, a fabulous seaside town with much entertainment including the wonderful Somerleyton Hall and Gardens, the East Anglia Transport Museum, Africa Alive, Sparrow’s Nest and Gardens, the Marina Theatre and various other museums. There’s also an arcade on Claremont Pier with over 35 rides. If you fancy something a bit more energetic, why not test your nerves at Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park. Set in 50 acres, the theme park has rides up to 50mph as well as water based ones. Smaller children will enjoy the Flying Elephant ride and Big Train – there are also sea lion and parrot shows.
Wroxham – the heart of the broads, is the perfect place for boat tours, day boat hire, shopping, or to visit Wroxham Barns – a family adventure park with rides, animals, shopping, dining, a maize maze, and so much more.
If your time away is more about laying on a tranquil beach and soaking up the rays, you should head to Trimingham, the Blue flag beach of Mundesley, Happisburgh and its gorgeous lighthouse, and Sea Palling for fish and chips and donuts. Most of our beaches are home to our grey seals population, bobbing around in the shallow waters, and if visiting us between October to January, make sure you visit Horsey or Winterton, where you can see the seal pups from a distance. Horsey Beach is totally unspoilt and is a fantastic place for watching the seals, It is also similar to Winterton Beach which is well worth a visit.
You can also explore the Deep History Coast along the Discovery Trail which follows the coastline from Weybourne to Cart Gap via eleven Discovery Points along the way.
