Holidaymakers heading to Norfolk often go to the north and east of the county, but there’s loads to do and see in the western part to make it a great family holiday destination. Much of West Norfolk is characterised by wonderful rolling countryside, full of fascinating and attractive villages, where cottage of flint or Norfolk carstone cluster around ancient village ponds or village greens. This magical landscape, dotted with church spires and windmills is a wonderful tapestry of rural England at its best. To the south of King’s Lynn, the mysterious and magical Fens provide a sheer sense of space, vast skies, wildlife and total tranquillity which are not to be missed.

If you want to get to the seaside, head past the arcades and funfair rides at Hunstanton to the much more charming Old Hunstanton where, unusually for the east coast, the shore faces west. Park above the beach and it is a short walk down to a huge stretch of sand where the sheer expanse of open space and fresh air is exhilarating.

For any royalists, a trip to this part of the world would not be complete without a visit to Sandringham House, the Queen’s winter residence. Sandringham Country Park has 600 acres of woods and parkland. During the summer months, there are tractors with trailers to take visitors all over the grounds. The house itself, set in extensive gardens, is worth a visit because it looks as though every gift the Queen has ever been given while trotting the globe has been put on display here. Sandringham was the Norfolk Retreat of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second. The house was built in the second half of the 18th century. Sandringham is recorded in the Doomsday Book of 1086 as Sant Dersingham. You can also ride on a quintessentially British steam railway along the beautiful landscapes of the north Norfolk coast.
