AMENDED ITINERARY AS SANDRINGHAM HOUSE IS NOW CLOSED DUE TO THE SAD DEATH OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELISABETH II

This delightful break combines the beauty of this wonderful area of the country with the history of Norwich. On the east coast of England, Norfolk has 90 miles of unspoilt coastline, beautiful countryside, the unique Broads National Park, forests and heathland and picturesque market towns. You can’t come to this area without a trip on The Broads! We have also added a visit to the magnificent Holkham Hall near the North Norfolk coast.

The county town of Norwich has a fantastic heritage with long trade links, historical sights and architecture and excellent shopping. A great destination for a holiday and very popular with our customers.
