An amazing place to visit and won't break the bank. The entrance is very welcoming. Very open and modern with lots of information on offer and no extra mandatory charge for it, like some cathedrals. You can wander around freely or go on a tour. I chose to walk freely but would recommend a tour if you would like more info or at least picking up some of their booklets. The buildings themselves and grounds are very well kept and are nice to walk around. I am glad this cathedral is being looked after. The upstairs is accessible with a lift where the cafe/toilets and library are situated. I was lucky enough to visit their library on a day where they were allowing visitors to view their older books. This for me was an incredible experience and I am grateful to have seen the incredible volume of books they care for. I did have to park a little bit away but Norwich does have a good amount of parking about, and its the only thing you would have to pay for in this trip.

A must see. Upon entry you are greeted by staff who give you a guide and explain a few things. No entry fee however there is a voluntary donation desk if you wish to donate. Donation is greatly received and appreciated. Inside the Cathedral there is lots to see with beautiful art work and architecture. Soak in the peaceful atmosphere and view the beautiful glass stained windows. There are guided tours. gift shop, cafe and toilets.

A very beautiful cathedral. The cathedral is the seat of the bishop of Norwich and the mother church of the diocese of Norwich. It is located in the heart of the city so I recommend anyone who goes to Norwich to visit. Entrance is free and it is pet friendly as well. The staff is also very helpful and inform you by answering all your questions sincerely.

Beautiful cathedral which has a free entry although they do request for a donation at the second entrance (min £5). The shop has a lot of nice items too. Unfortunately, the toilets are closed here so ensure you empty your bowels before hand.

Lovely visit to Norwich cathedral with a primary school group. Informative guides and interactive stained glass activities with the children. The cathedral is clean, tidy and well looked after. Cashless cafe.

A must see on your to do list if visiting Norwich. We visited around 2.30pm on a Sunday in December. We were welcomed by a very friendly, bubbly, informative lady at the entrance. Entrance is free but if you can give a donation it all helps to keep this incredible building in the remarkable condition it is. We listened to the organ playing whilst taking in the breathtaking stained glass windows, incredible architecture (remember to look up) and the history. Pausing to light candles in remembrance of others and for peace. Sitting for a few moments of prayer and contemplation. There is a wonderful cafe attached to the side of the cathedral, scrumptious cakes, scones, rolls, pastries, mince pies; eat in or take out. We sat and had a delicious cup of earl grey and a nibble of naughtiness. Would highly recommend to all.

Phenomenal is the only word for it. It is free to visit and Dogs are allowed, which is rare. The building is HUGE, with so many Chapels within it. The whole building is beautiful and so well maintained. Allow two hours to see it properly. There is a Cafe on the upper level too.

OUTSTANDING The best religious building I've been in by far. The history is fascinating. If you get the chance to do a guided tour then you must, there knowledge is amazing. Loved everything about this Cathedral.

Really lovely cathedral right in the middle of Norwich, in walking distance of the train station. I only popped in for a quick visit so really didn't get the full experience. I'd love to come back and invest a bit more time as there's so much to look at and so much history to learn about. I recommend giving yourself a couple of hours if you really want to explore everything, however it's still worth going in if you only have a little bit of time.

Very impressive cathedral, amazed it was free to visit! I particularly enjoyed the treasury and seeing the painted brickwork up close, many people don't know that these historic buildings were painted when they were first built, that paint has largely faded over the centuries.

Incredible 900 year old building, absolutely huge and stunningly beautiful. Spent well over an hour here because there was just so much to see. Can visit for free or make a donation. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. One of the best cathedrals I've ever been to.

Love this cathedral. Love the grounds and building. You can light candles and give prayer requests. It's donation only and walkable to the main city as it's the bottle m end of the city. Your surrounded by plenty of places to eat . If Norwich is new to you, Riverside has gravity / the Odeon a/ swimming and bowling etc and the main centre has most stores and some quaint side streets. The assembly house is an amazing place for a treat afternoon tea and an amazing building in itself.

A beautiful cathedral in a beautiful city. Great history. Fantastic art and architecture. Peaceful surroundings to rest and contemplate. Excellent facilities for the disabled visitor. Superb cafe which is accessible and can cater for food allergies/intolerances.

Stunning. Definitely would go again but on a weekday. Such a different without place being overcrowded. Beautiful architecture inside. Free to visit. Toilets at the premises too.

Just not enough time to explore this amazing building, it's actually really big and the courtyard reminds me of something from Harry Potter or X Men. You have to come here with 2-3 hours to appreciate. Also wrap up as it's cold in here too!

The cathedral is nice. The staff very welcoming and friendly. Lovely place to relax if you need to quiet your mind. What's really lovely though is the surrounding area. The most beutiful chocolate box houses you've ever seen

It is a fantastic building worth exploring if you are in Norwich. Some lovely stained glass windows are framed by the architecture, and the craftsmanship is incredible. Free to explore and see what the building has to offer. There is a cafe, toilets and a gift shop and a labyrinth in the cloister. I visited late in the day so the cafe and shop were closed along with the exhibition but reason to visit again one day

I absolutely loved our visit to Norwich Cathedral. They have super helpful volunteers on the door that are extremely nice and make you feel really welcome. We joined a free tour which was superb, it lasted just over an hour and I could have listened to the guide all day. The architecture was simply stunning and the information that the guide conveyed brought the history of the cathedral to life. I loved the carvings of the Green Men dotted all over the place. Entry was free (as it should be for a place of worship) but I was more than happy to make a donation to this wonderful place.

Really nice visit, even though I am local and seen it all before....you can't fail to be impressed by the beautiful architecture of this magnificent building, the sheer scale of it is incredible. My young son really enjoyed looking around which was somewhat surprising as it's not really something you would think children would enjoy.......it's the school holidays & IT'S ALWAYS RAINING !!!! so give me marks for being creative!!! the resident cathedral cat helped my cause & obviously the cafe who is powered by BREAD SOURCE so always gonna be a winner!! Although the gift shop is seriously lacking ...although really busy with customers even my 5 year old couldn't find anything he wanted...that means it is REALLY BAD.... should collaborate with Jarrolds to stock it. Two Norwich icons together would be great to see.

Beautiful cathedral with so much history to see. Free to enter, but I would suggest a good donation as it’s such a nice day out. Really dog friendly, except the cafe, but there are plenty of dog friendly places to eat in Norwich. The staff are so welcoming and knowledgeable.

Beautiful Church with amazing decoration. Is free to entry and staff are really friendly. I seem tourists having guided tour. The courtyard is amazing and there is a huge cafe/restaurant on site.

Loved visiting Norwich Cathedral. For starters, entry is free which can be a big help to larger groups and families. The Cathedral is kept in excellent condition and most areas were accesable. The staff are very friendly and the Cathedral also offer free tours around. It was really good to walk around and enjoy all the sights of the Cathedral. Overall a good experience and the atmosphere was excellent. 👍😁

A must place to visit, This beautiful church has so much to see.Its free to get in but donations are appreciated. I had a guided tour which is free and I recommend it, With the Gentleman tour guide so knowledgeable, and so enthusiastic, The artitecture of the cathedral is stunning, Everywhere you look from the floor to the ceiling it's just a work of art. The guide showed us Graffiti markings on some of the walls that was put there by some of the stonemasons..There is a cafe and toliets on site as well..

Stunning architectural building made many of our group feel so emotional. To think it took 50 years to construct is truly amazing especially considering it dates back to 1096. Our son took part in being a chorister for a day last Saturday. It was so special and something we will always remember. The staff were so committed and passionate. It was a real privilege. Definitely recommend the shop, too. Lots of lovely bits and pieces to buy for presents or keep sakes to remember the day, reasonably priced and good quality. We give 5*

First time seeing this kind of castle, and it's own unique designs (to be honest) i like the shapes of this castle. You can explore whole castle and it's art galleries 2in1 but for this year 2023 the castle staff said the castle is close/not working and you cannot explore visit, because it's under reconstruction works... so. But all in all nice place to visit and explore. If you guys will be visiting Norwich this castle it's one of the popular places of this unique and beautiful City. (i'll drop some additional bonus photos of all around the city places not only the castle :) ) enjoy.

The castle was being renovated but the local museum was open. It had interesting information about things including natural history, Boadicea, Romans, art, and the military. It also had a special exhibition about a local shipping disaster of the Gloucester, that was carrying the future King James II.

I took my children to see The last voyage of The Gloucester exhibition which we found very interesting. They did make us aware when we arrived there were lots of parts of the museum closed so be prepared to not see as much as you normally would as you go around. The staff we met around the museum were pleasant and helpful.The coffee shop is limited in what they serve at the same time The food they do serve is really good and the member of staff that served us was a real star, she was very welcoming and helpful with everything we needed. If you are interested in local history definitely check out The last Voyage exhibition. We did find that the lighting needs a bit of improvement in some of the cabinets especially with such small name labels. At the same time if you're not too interested in reading the names it won't be to much of a bother.

Very pleasant visit to the castle. Parts under construction but still lots to view. Coffee very nice in the cafe. Vegan food was an orange/apple/ chocolate bar. Watched a wedding party move through the museum. The exhibits are fabulous. £6.50 admission. Must view for visitors.

Castle is under construction, so only thing you have access to is the museum. The great thing is the deal for £2 if you come the hour before closing which I did. Which I think is enough time to see everything. There is natural history displays, historical, art, military, teapot collection and tapestry upstairs. They have a little souvenir shop and a cafe. I have rated the attraction as if I would of paid full price of £6.70, which I do feel is a bit expensive for what is there. There is reductions for family groups. All staff were very friendly, and I did love the adopt the artefact initiative which I thought was very novel. Would visit again when the construction has finished on the castle which is the main attraction.

For the cost of just over £7 the museum exhibit is both well put together and very informative with plenty of activities for kids. The historic items span from the roman times all the way to modern day which makes things more interesting also. It's well worth a visit and is an enjoyable place with very friendly staff.

The castle itself was closed for some heavy-duty building works when I visited, but the galleries were open. A fascinating display of artifacts from the wreck of the 'Gloucester', along with a history of the event. Some lovely art galleries and even one devoted to teapots! Worth combining with the ciity museum.

Didn't expect so much taxidermy. Lots to see and do, as long as you like stuffed dead animals. The dungeons were unfortunately closed due to building works, so we just saw the museum. Well kept and managed.

Wonderfull place to visit with kids. All family enjoyed exploring the history of Norwich and Norfolk. Great expo of ancient relics, coins, pictures etc. Worth mentioning huge section of teapots (hundreds!). Two thumbs up!

Nice museum with lots of things to see there is a salary of iceni tribe and Queen boudicca and her roman conquest . Natural history museum was lots of taxidermy specimen and there were another galary about the norwitch regime had a nice Caffè and shop there is no parking at the castle must use the park and drive unfortunately the castle is on a restoration project so is not opened willing to visit another time to dog in to the history

Lovely Museum, despite the castle area being under refurbishment. Similar to another big museum in my home city Oxford. Minus 1 star because the toilets are in two different ends of the building for Male and Female which meant it was difficult to find, this could be due to the refurbishment, so did not cause us too much trouble! We got a free entry ticket to their other museum, on the other side of the city too!

Norwich Castle is a must-visit destination for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike. Despite undergoing some repairs at the moment, the castle remains an impressive sight, showcasing Norman architecture at its finest. The castle has a rich history, having served as a royal palace, a prison, and a museum over the centuries. Visitors can explore the castle's museum, which houses a vast collection of artifacts, including Roman, medieval, and Saxon treasures. The museum provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of East Anglia and the city of Norwich. The castle also features beautiful gardens, including a tranquil picnic area and a stunning floral display. Despite the ongoing repairs, the castle is still worth a visit. The work being done is not disruptive to the visitor experience and does not detract from the castle's natural beauty and historical significance. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and they are more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the castle and its history. In conclusion, Norwich Castle is a truly unique and fascinating place that should be on everyone's list of must-see attractions. Despite the repairs, it is still a wonderful place to visit and explore. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to step back in time and discover the rich history of East Anglia

What a great place to visit! We came to see the Gloucester exhibition. We were greeted by Matthew who directed us to the ticket office The exhibition was fab! So informative and interesting, the staff were so invested in the subject and really friendly. Well worth a visit

Norwich castle is very good and is lots of fun.. Even though a few parts of castle were/are closed for renovation work, there is still enough to see. The lower admission fees are very fair.

It’s a pretty decent museum and has some interesting exhibits and art throughout. Norwich Castle has some amazing history as well as being the museum it is today. Unfortunately right now it is under construction so many exhibits you can temporarily not enter, but this does not stop you from having a good experience. There is amazing paintings and sculptures throughout, taxidermy animals, fossils, areas about Egyptians, Romans and more; and a nice gift shop. A nice touch is that students enter for free, so this is a great place for students to come if they are looking for something to do in Norwich for the day. Highly recommend.

Not recommend going to the museum, the castle is closed. It is half natural history museum, half Norwich history museum. It costs me 7£for a student ticket, I prefer a pint in Norwich, prefer to sit outside the castle rather paying and going inside the museum

It's a big place Sadly it was under renovations when we got here but there was still a lot to see. Had a coffee and scones which was lovely. Kids friendly, my kids enjoyed it.

Norwich Castle, situated in the heart of Norwich, England, is a historic fortress with a rich and varied past dating back over 900 years. Originally built by the Normans in the 11th century following the Norman Conquest of England, the castle has served various purposes throughout its history, including as a royal palace, a county gaol, and a museum. Its impressive architecture includes a massive stone keep, which is one of the finest examples of Norman military architecture in Europe. The keep once housed the royal apartments and later served as a prison. Surrounding the keep is a defensive wall and a large dry moat. In addition to its architectural significance, Norwich Castle is renowned for its extensive museum collections, which cover a wide range of topics including archaeology, fine art, natural history, and ethnography. Visitors can explore exhibits ranging from ancient Egyptian artifacts to contemporary art installations. The castle also offers educational programs, events, and guided tours, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists interested in history and culture. Its strategic location atop a hill provides panoramic views of the city, making it a picturesque spot to visit. Overall, Norwich Castle stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Norman influence in England and continues to be a symbol of the city's heritage.

Free to Art Fund members :-) Nice selection of east Anglian artists. Some lovely paintings by Edward Seago Castle currently closed for renovations

Great day out, however the castle is still undergoing some refurbishment and looks like there is a long way to go yet before it's complete. Would highly recomend a visit.

Would have liked to have visited the Castle but it was under total re-building and renovation so just walked around. Maybe I will come back again when the works have been completed.

It a beautiful place and quiet extraordinary. We'll worth a visit. I took my 4 year old and was surprised out how much she liked it.

One of the best National Trust (or other historic) houses that I've visited. The gardens in late June were spectacular: the main garden is basically a very large walled garden, that's divided into about 5 or 6 sections, which makes for a really interesting visit. There is also a "nuttery" - the first I have ever seen, with a variety of different nut trees and also some bee hives to see. The house has lots of rooms to explore and there were plenty of guides on hand to answer questions. We had a decent lunch in the cafe.

We went to see the lambs on the farm this weekend. I had never been before. It was a fantastic experience. The farm is only open this weekend and they had trail for children with various activities at each point, which was brilliant for all the family to join in and have a good walk in the fresh air. We had lunch in the cafe and this was excellent and homemade. What really stood out to us was that every member of staff or volunteers were so helpful, knowledgeable and welcoming.

We started in the gardens, but it's a bit early in the year for lots of flowers, still enjoyable but would be nice to return in the summer. The house was really lovely and the history is amazing. It was a nice touch that there was a pianist there when we arrived, I'm not sure if this is always the case. Certainly worth a visit though!

What an amazing place. We spent half the day walking the very impressive grounds and the second half, inside the manor. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by original artworks, all the furniture, books and wall decor. This manor captivates what it was like living as an upper class citizen through the seventeenth century. Worth the visit.

Great place to walk around - a woodland walk or a lakeside walk. We did both, which took just over an hour and a half. There is plenty of wildlife to spot on the walk. We will definitely go back to explore the walled gardens and the actual hall itself.

Enjoyed a day out at Felbrigg estate. This national trust site has a stunning walled garden with hundreds species of plants including flowers, fruit trees and vegetables, truly impressive! The Felbrigg hall itself is a historical Manor House, well maintained however wheel chairs or push chairs may not access the first floor conveniently as this old building is without a lift. Lots of picnic areas, toilets are clean but I don’t see any children’s playground. There is a gift shops, a second hand book shop and a cafe with lots of tables outside. Plenty of walking areas.

We went to the lake recently and that was lush. You feel surrounded by nature. Parking is free for national trust members. The old building has a lot of stories to tell. There is a cafe, toilets and book shop. Is as good as Blickling Hall 😍

A beautiful hall with plenty of rooms to explore, Felbrigg Hall and gardens is definitely worth visiting. When I visited the grounds opened at 10am, however the hall was not open until 12pm. There is a cafe, secondhand bookshop and a gift shop to browse if you are waiting for the hall to open. The walled gardens are beautiful, with fruit and vegetables growing around the grounds as well as rooting hens and a dove cot. If you want to go on a longer walk, there is also plenty of land to explore, with walking and cycling trails signposted around the grounds. Be aware that some rooms, mainly the bedrooms, are currently largely covered under dust sheets to protect the items. That being said, there is still plenty to see around the property.

This is a lovely NT property. The house is fascinating, the guides are knowledgeable and everything is beautifully preserved and presented. There's the biggest and most extensively planted walled garden I've ever visited, the doves and chickens strutting about the place are great to see. The grounds are extensive, we did the walk around the church and ice house. This is National Trust at its best.

Love this place been a couple of times as a National Trust member. Stunning woodlands, church, and lots to see in the walled garden, food was delicious. Definitely worth a day out! Highly recommend!

One of my favourites, oddly as I'd never heard of this place! Loved everything about the property & its incredible grounds. I enjoyed it more than the Royal homes I've visited. The staff are full of knowledge that they volunteer as you walk around. A few surprises along the way too! I'd highly recommend a visit.

Beautiful grounds and gardens, ample parking and interesting house to visit. Coffee shop and bookshop on site and large clean toilet facilities. The walled garden is incredible and there are various walks you can take around the estate. Plenty of places to picnic if the weather allows. Well worth a visit, even just for the views.

Had a lovely day wandering the gardens. Good parking. Food is standard NT - so good but a tad on the expensive side. Don't get caught by the V walk. It doesn't start and end at the same spot (which is obvious I suppose from the V) and there is a bit of a walk back to the start point. Fine for us, but could be less so for less mobile persons.

Great visit. The house was decked out in Christmas splendour with a special Wolves of Wild Wood Hall trail. Cafe was great, sausage baps, tea & a Christmas special coffee. Found a coupe of books we were looking for in the 2nd hand bookstore and finished off with a lovely countryside walk. NT staff wonderful as always. Great place. Note: The car park machine does not scan the Scottish NT membership card but having to Scottish NT sticker on your windshield is sufficient to get free parking.

A lovely house full of interesting antiques, several cabinets were open for our visit so you could see inside. Knowledgeable volunteers as always and a great outside area for eating. NT do tearooms let's face it! There's a lovely old parkland, a church and woods to explore. The walled garden was especially stunning with a riot of colour, huge pumpkins and chickens and doves roaming freely. Loads of space to explore. Well worth a visit. The orangery is currently closed, the icehouse full of bats, and work happening around the lake, but conservation does require such intervention.

Fantastic place as expected from a NT property. We had a fabulous trip around the woodland route today in lovely autumn sunshine. Parking is easy and right where you need it to be and totally accessible as are most of the walks , All surface Mobility scooters are available to her but you need to pre book them as they are limited , cost of hire is by donation . Tea room was open as was the courtyard shop and toilet facilities.

Spent a wonderful couple of hours in the grounds and the gardens, having walked through the fields and woods from Cromer (about 3.5 miles). The best cheese scones and coffee for miles around, so well worth the trek, as always!! The walled gardens are glorious, with companion planting of flowers and vegetables, chickens pecking around, the octagonal dovecote, and heavy-laden fruit trees. A perfect visit.

We had a lovely walk here, despite the rain. We came in Autumn, when the forest looked really nice. We did the 4.5 mile route, although there were works going on so had to divert and not go around the lake. Not really a problem. We had our dog with us, there are on and off lead areas along the walk. Will definitely be back in the Spring (we visited from our caravan). Parking £5 all day for non members.

Absolutely lovely place. Makes for a great day out with plenty to do and see. The house is amazing and the walled garden is phenomenal. Nice cafe and shop. Staff and volunteers make visitors feel very welcome indeed. There are also a number of scenic walks on the estate. A real National Trust gem!

Well done to the staff and volunteers at Felbigg for the wonderful Christmas display. The Wild Wolves of Felbigg was brilliant especially the graphics that were designed in house...for me, this was far better than some lavish outsourced event and we look forward to next year.

The walled gardens are very impressive and I found the staff working in the house to be interesting, knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant was very busy and not quite to my taste. the shop is small but with very helpful staff. Some of the trees are quite stunning.

Lovely place to visit, house was not open due to time of year but cafe, shop and bookshop was. Lovely place to walk with the dogs Very muddy

Norfolk Broads in England is a picturesque area with navigable rivers, lakes, and natural landscapes. Popular for boating, fishing, birdwatching, and cycling, it offers an oasis of tranquility and biodiversity. With quaint villages and rural charm, it attracts nature enthusiasts and adventure-seeking tourists.

Amazing time on the broads. Would highly recommend to any that wants a boating holiday. We enjoyed it that much we have already booked to go back next year!

Amazing holiday destination. Our fourth time here exploring by boat and always something new to see and do. Loads of wildlife but also very dog and family friendly. Don't hesitate to go on a boating holiday in this area!

Went on a boating holiday on the Northern Broads. Beautiful landscapes, serene places, the rivers are a wonderful place to see birdlife, and the Norfolk windmills (many unfortunately in poor state) dot the landscape and add charm. Despite the villages on the river being close to one another via road, on a boat it seemed that a person was travelling a long time to get from one place to another, so the boating trips become little adventures where passengers are forced to focus on nature and the surrounding landscape. Weather was predicted to be bad but were fortunate to have plenty of days of sunshine with periods of concentrated downpours. A place to enjoy the water and the peacefulness. The downsides are that it can get a bit boring for those who choose to explore via the river, because it takes very long to cover relatively short distances, finding mooring spots can be a nightmare and often one is unable to visit or get off the boat for lack of mooring berths, and the need to find water and pump-out toilet stations is a constant planning headache.

Love the boat ride on Horsey Mere by Ross Wildlife boat trips, a very knowledgeable and entertaining captain. In the peaceful channels of the reed edged waterways we saw many of the mentioned species like the Swallowtail Butterfly, Marsh Harrier, Sedge Warblers, Avocet and a Heron. Well worth a visit.

The tourists attraction at The broads is good.self drive boats, guided tours and accommodations on water boats is unique to this place. But the drive route is not great no dual carriage way or motor way. Mostly country roads with single line.

A Broads boating holiday is a fantastic opportunity to get away from it all on the tranquil waterways of rural Norfolk, stopping at remote spots or pretty villages. Relaxing, peaceful, perfect!

30-03-24 to 31-03-24 - spent a couple of days on the Norfolk Broads with family & friends on a boat 🛥️ This kind of break is ideal for having a real lazy one & also stopping off at reasonably expensive food venues. Photographers will enjoy getting some snaps around this scenic area & there is also plenty of wildlife around too.

Peaceful and beautiful and full of wildlife. A great relaxing place for a boating Holiday. Plan ahead to guaruntee you can get a mooring or have an adventure and see where the river takes you. Visiting in March before the season really starts does mean limited mooring spots due to most boatyards not operating,but we have had spectacular weather and as long as you plan your journeys its very enjoyable and alot quieter on the water.

If you haven't done a boating holiday on the Norfolk broads please consider it, what a beautiful part of our country. The peace and tranquility and stunning scenery, including seeing wonderful wildlife such as kingfishers, baby deer, even an otter. Will definatley return.

Lovely area, great views, nice boat tour and some nice places to eat.

Beautiful place to visit. Went on a five day boating trip with friends. Sunny with a cold wind in late April, so didn't spend as much time on the top deck as we'd have liked. Very pretty. Imagine that when the trees have all their leaves in summer that it will be even prettier. We worth a visit for a relaxing holiday.

Didn't go to the good bits Great Yarmouth is brilliant just like the set of the last picture show A warming fading decayed charm with shell shocked stall owners all wondering how did it come to this And thinking it's not so bad this decline

The Broads, known as the Broads National Park since 2015 is a network of mostly navigable rivers and lakes in Norfolk and Suffolk. They were formed by the flooding of peat workings that were dug in medieval times and cover an area of some 303 square kilometres, most of which is in Norfolk, with over 200 kilometres of navigable waterways. There are seven rivers and 63 broads, mostly less than 4 metres deep. Thirteen broads are generally open to navigation, with a further three having navigable channels. The Broads is full of history with abbeys and churches, windmills, boathouses and wherries (a unique type of sailing boat which was used as cargo and passenger ship) together with some amazing homes. The Broads is Britian’s largest protected wetland and conservation is hugely significant to the biodiversity of the UK. Wildlife is everywhere with regular sightings of geese, swans, kingfishers and herons to name a few. An amazing place to visit, once will not be enough.

Perfect boating holiday, beautiful scenery, stunning wildlife and gorgeous places to moor-up with dog-friendly pubs.

Beautiful location. Great selection of wildlife to see from otters and water voles through to marsh harriers and even an osprey if you're lucky. Worth doing on a boat, relaxing and fun. Great selection of local pubs close by and moorings available pretty much everywhere.

Very enjoyable day out. Lovely gardens and good tea shop. Would be handy to have a leaflet with a map rather have to buy the guide book but wandering around discovering different gardens is still a pleasure.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful, definitely worth the visit. Wonderful to see the pictures of how the garden was created and throughout the years. Tea room had many tasty delights and a very comfy room with a wood burner fire

Really impressed with all the gardens - everywhere! 32 Acres is a very big area, and I'm afraid we didn't cover it all.. Really well planned and executed, some wonderful plants, all seemingly in the right environment for them! Initially thought admittance price of £11-50 a bit steep, but not once you could see just how much care and love has been poured into this lovely space!

I would have given the gardens another star but as they do not provide any maps, I did not like just randomly wandering around the grounds not knowing how the different gardens connected with each other. At times we seemed to be going through wooded areas on the outside or the outskirts of gardens and after doing a lot of walking, we would come to more formal gardens that were closer to the entrance and cafe than we thought. With a small map we could have decided on a route and we would have found other gardens easier. The gardens themselves are well worth a visit and you shouldn't miss the alpacas.

Absolutely beautiful gardens and grounds. Visited today and was just in awe, there are so many lovely garden’s beautifully designed with such pretty flowers. Staff were really nice, friendly and helpful and full of information. Lots of benches to sit down on and take in the grounds. Lovely arch walk ways and beautiful structures such as the fruit cage and water feature in the Exotic Garden. Lovely framed views of Saint Mary’s church Happisburgh and Happisburgh lighthouse. Lots of lovey plants to buy and nice tea room. Will be back in the summer.

Absolutely amazing garden, so much to see, great plants to buy and nice cake.

Beautiful place to visit with walled gardens, themed gardens and a wonderful range of plants and flowers to view. The garden centre allows you to buy some of the plants you will have seen on the walk around and there is a lovely tea room with an amazing range of delicious cakes. You could get lost in your thoughts wandering around these peaceful gardens with plenty of benches to stop at to admire the views.

Wanted to come here for so long, brought the mother in law along as a birthday treat.Took my two boys as well and they really enjoyed exploring the different gardens.we picked a rainy day, but that didn't put a damper on it. We had a little treat in the tea room, which went down well. The gardens are just incredible. Loved exploring this place. There was so much to see, every corner you turned. You can tell its a well loved and looked after garden. What a fantastic hidden gem.

First time visiting , recommended by friend did not disappoint. Lovely set out gardens plenty to walk round and see. Places to sit and spend time reflecting. Interesting to round a corner and find another vista or walkway to another hidden gem. Wisterias were amazing on the pergolas and lots of gorgeous bearded iris Agave Montana has two flower spikes which are something to behold will be amazing when bloom. Loved the photographs of the progression from purchase and no garden to individual areas of garden. Small selection of plants to buy and lots of old gardening tools which are displayed , and can be purchased . Some I haven't seen for a while. Lovely cup of tea in the tea rooms and nice selection of meals and cakes. Spent a relaxing three hours here and never realised how busy it was until visited the tea rooms and saw the car park . Will definitely return later in the year to see a different range of flora

A beautiful garden made up of many rooms, gorgeous views and vistas. Lots of places to sit and just enjoy the peace and beauty around you.

Beautiful and vast gardens, very peaceful and place. Loved it there, the tearooms also offer a nice variety of cakes and a light lunch. Wonderful for a „blooming“ day out.

Chose to visit after hearing about the gardens from locals. If you are after a peaceful, relaxing wander this is the place. The garden is amazing with so much to explore. It's certainly worth just sitting down and taking in the sights and sounds. A great place to be mindful. Admission fee slightly expensive but would still recommend a visit if you have some spare time on your hands and you are nearby.

One beautiful day to visit beautiful gardens they are,amazing even at this early time of year plenty to look at . Nice tea room with nice staff and butternut squash soup . And the beef pasties I had were lovely and went back for a slice of cake before we left apple crumble cake hits the spot wow .

What a stunning place to visit!! Obviously a labour of love!!The gardens are beautiful and the tearoom was charming and welcoming...after our walk around Got lost a few times but so worth the visit Staff were so friendly especially the lovely lady at the entrance,so informative .Thank you for sharing your beautiful bit of heaven 💖

In love with this place. Only down the road from where I live, try to come every year, but only been in August time, because I love hydrangeas so much and mainly come to adore them. Obviously lots of other plants to see too. I wish they sold their tomatoes, they got so many and different ones too. Next time might bring snacks as I can easily spend all day here. Look out for opening times, shut on Monday and Tuesday. Also cafe doesn't have hot food, only cakes and filtered coffee /tea

What an absolute gem of a place. I think it's the best garden I've ever visited. The variety of plants and the different areas were incredible. Also great gluten-free cake! A must if visiting North Norfolk.. we were there in early August. So many flowers in full bloom.

Best garden we've been to! Lots to see, liked that you can just keep wandering and finding another little gem, no set route, just walk, sit, enjoy, and repeat. So many different varieties of plants, shrubs, trees. The water feature is fantastic! Good choice in cafe, had lunch first, walked around the gardens and then tea and cake afterwards.

I recently visited the Norwich Theatre Royal before attending Stage Two, and my overall experience was quite enjoyable. Upon entering, I decided to grab a drink, but the prices were steep. Paying eight pounds for a glass of rose wine and a bottle of Coke seemed a bit excessive to me. Nonetheless, I proceeded upstairs and was pleased to find many available seats. One of the highlights of my visit was the exceptional staff at the Norwich Theatre Royal. I encountered numerous outstanding team members eager to assist and provide excellent customer service. Even during busy periods, there was always someone available to lend a helping hand. This level of attentiveness and dedication added to the overall friendly atmosphere of the theatre. I must say, the overall experience left me wishing I were a resident of Norwich. The city itself is a beautiful place, and it particularly shines in its theatrical offerings. The Norwich Theatre Royal seems to be a hub for entertainment and cultural experiences, and I could feel the vibrant energy in the air. It's truly a remarkable destination for theatre enthusiasts. In conclusion, although I found the drink prices higher, the Norwich Theatre Royal provided an enjoyable experience. The abundance of available seats, coupled with the friendly atmosphere and exceptional staff, made for a memorable visit. Norwich is a city that truly embraces the arts, and the theatre scene is undoubtedly a highlight. I highly recommend visiting the Norwich Theatre Royal for anyone looking to immerse themselves in a beautiful theatrical experience.

Lovely, friendly theatre. I have mobility problems and it was made so easy for me. I've joined the "Row K" gang now 🙂 Here's the view just before the start of 2:22, and at the intermission. A thoroughly enjoyable evening from arrival to departure.

Great entertainment - came for panto 03.01.2022 and was not disappointed. Very modern building inside which was unexpected. The show was delayed for 30 mins due to a main cast member isolating but there were plenty of announcements. Programmes were £3.50, light spinners £6, light up cat ear Hairbands £4, hand clappers £2. Small bar serving drinks and a small selection of nibbles. Didn't go upstairs as didn't need to. Lots of loos. Helpful ushers. Sat in the Prelude restaurant during the delay. Not serving food/meals. Toilets and lift next to prelude restaurant.

What a beautiful theatre, have been coming since I was a kid but today was the first time I been in years. Staff were friendly and everything seemed reasonable priced. Very impressed :-)

Vision of Elvis: The band and backing singers made the show. Elvis didn't really arrive in the building. Theatre: Friendly staff, clean, warm, pretty well ventilated, no cloakrooms and limited space for coats under chairs (not unusual). If you’re over 6ft or have long legs, you will struggle with knee space unless you get the odd row which has additional legroom. Binoculars available for £1. Toilets on multiple floors. Regardless of the performance, £28 was very good value for a ticket and night out.

I always love the Theatre Royal in Norwich. The staff are brilliant and School of Rock last night was phenomenal. The only thing I'd say is, you need an Isle in the middle so we are not standing so much and moving coats and bags so often, to let people past.

It was a year ago now me and my acquaintance travelled to the Norwich Theatre Royal to see the one and only Jane McDonald. I tell you it was an experience to die for. Nothing ever will compare to the immense excitement we shared when Jane was singing ABBA tribute songs. That will be a night to remember and we hope we get to see her again 😝

Came here to see Matthew Bourne's production of Sleeping Beauty, and it was amazing. Staff were kind and attentive, which was especially appreciated as we had my grandma and her wheelchair as well. The bars were well managed, and the chairs were very comfortable. Overall a great place to see a show. Highly recommended!!

First time for me at ballet. Enjoyed the nutracker immensely. What a magical performance. I went tonight and saw jack Whitehall. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Looking forward to my next visit with friends and family. Wonderful evening's entertainment and a full house.

The shows are incredible. I just saw Sleeping Beauty with my mum and we loved it so so much, it's one of the best ones we have seen there. X

Jesus Christ Super Star was an outstanding show. The cast were magnificent, singing was sensational. Dancing was superb

Not a very accessible review. There is a lot of steps and although there is a working lift it doesn’t access all the levels. My party still had to climb stairs, despite a mobility disability. Three members of staff tried to assist but there was nothing they could really do. I just wish when I booked the tickets I knew which seats were accessible, perhaps worth having on the booking site

Such a wonderful night! Sao Paulo Dance Company performance was excellent - great contemporary choreography, brilliant dancers, marvellous sound and light direction. As always, Theatre Royal is a proper treasure box of surprises.

We saw Grayson Perry who was brilliant & the theatre is fantastic. I was just disappointed, as a participatory evening, that the wifi wasn't sufficent to ineract with the questions asked. When it did finally let me in the app wouldn't recognise my email address! I lost too much act time fiddling around with my phone.

This theatre is AMAZING! Every time I've been the staff have been so wonderful and really helpful with accessable needs. The historic features are so lovely to see and help the experience to feel even more special. Definitely going back time and time again!

We went for Sleeping Beauty and it was extraordinary. Well written, great acting, dancing and singing. All the usual gags, but it's not panto without them. The cast performed flawlessly and we all showed our appreciation during and at the end of the show. Can't wait until next years.
