Nature & Wildlife

Norfolk has some of the best birdwatching in the country, with a handful of Premier League nature reserves on the coast including Cley-next-the-Sea and Snettisham.

Inland, there’s the Broads National Park, Thetford Forest and the popular Pensthorpe Nature Park.

A highlight of any trip to Norfolk is taking a boat trip to see the seal colony on Blakeney Spit Nature Reserve.
