We’re all interested in experiential travel nowadays. It’s not enough to go on holiday… we’ve got to get down with the locals as well! Our ‘How to…’ film series shows you how to fit in when you visit Norfolk.
How to be a flaneur in Norwich
The best way to enjoy our City of Stories is on foot and by taking your time. Chill out, have a proper gander and drink it all in.
How to get lost in the woods
The largest lowland pine forest in the UK is a great place to park and stride. Put on your walking boots and as you’re enjoying the lovely scenery you might come across off-road cyclists, runners orienteering, people on zip wires, and wildlife from birds to wild horses and deer.

Norfolk has a rich history, stretching all the way back to almost a million years ago when the first tourists to the country came to Norfolk. Yes, really! You can discover about that, and the Roman, Anglo Saxon, Viking and Norman invasions and lots more besides when you explore Norfolk’s brilliant museums like the one featured in our film, Gressenhall Workhouse and Farm.
