Historic houses & sites
Norfolk has an amazing heritage and the county is filled with gorgeous historic buildings, from Jacobean stately homes, spectacular cathedrals or lovingly restored windmills.
Norfolk is crammed full of heritage sites and buildings - you won't need to travel far to find historic properties, whether in the heart of Norwich, down the rows of Great Yarmouth, or in the streets of King's Lynn, or out in the glorious Norfolk countryside.
In Norwich, Dragon Hall, a medieval merchant's hall is definitely worth a visit. Look out for the beautifully carved dragon - from where the hall's name derives!
Take a trip into the countryside and you will discover some fantastic National Trust properties including Blickling Hall, a Jacobean house surrounded by gardens and parkland, Felbrigg Hall with its incredible library, or the c15th redbrick moated manor house Oxburgh Hall. Or visit some the stunning houses of Houghton Hall with its 5-acre walled garden and parkland with its unusual herd of white deer, or the Palladian Holkham Hall.
You may also spot one of our windmills such as Bircham or Stow Windmill dominating the skyline. Open to the public a visit to a working windmill will be a great experience for the whole family. There are also various English Heritage properties to visit such as Grimes Graves, where you can step back in time to find out what life was like for our Stone Age ancestors.
