Counting Sheep Glamping

There’s more to Cromer (15 minutes’ drive) than just crabbing… this seaside town was once a Victorian resort and the pier and pavilion still remain. On the sandy beach, surfing and paddleboarding are some of the activities of choice – the same goes for Sea Palling beach (half an hour), where watersports such as jet skiing are in full force. For those of you who are keen to keep to the water, The Broads (25 minutes) is the place to hire out a boat for the day. Otherwise, you might want to opt for fish and chips on the shore in Sheringham (half an hour) and have a traditional seaside afternoon out, including arcades or a steam train ride to Holt. Now, while the sea certainly takes some of the limelight around here, you’ll also want to map out your way to some of the attractions inland too. There’s BeWILDerwood Norfolk (25 minutes) for playgrounds and twiggle characters, but for a trip that feels a little grander, perhaps you’ll want to call in at the National Trust’s Blickling Estate (25 minutes) or Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate (15 minutes), the latter also a good shout for woodland trails and lakes.
