Neighbourhood information
The village of Beighton is mostly 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, an amazing place to stop for some food and drink, whilst overlooking the boats and broads.
A few miles from the house is Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden, 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 definitely keep the family happy. There is canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing and sailing available, or just 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 was built by the Normans as a Palace over 900 years ago. It is now a museum and art gallery where children can discover more about East Anglia’s own 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.
