Child-friendly breaks in Norfolk

With all our talk of museums, galleries, scenic walks, and shopping treats, you would be forgiven for thinking that Norfolk is a haven for adults only – that’s simply not the case!

Exploring the great outdoors

One of the best things about a self-catering holiday in Norfolk is the freedom it will afford you and your family; wide, open spaces, a beautiful landscape to explore, and a multitude of natural resources are all at your fingertips. Children will adore the natural world that is suddenly open to them and may even be tempted to collect a multitude of items to make a collage of their holiday. Imagine building a nature collection and the memories that it will conjure every time they look at it. Children also enjoy pond dipping at the water’s edge, rock pooling along Norfolk’s coast, rambling about trails in search of wildlife, and playing pooh sticks underneath one of the county’s numerous river bridges. Get out and enjoy the natural world; it’s yours for the taking.

Treating your little ones

If you have explored every towpath, woodland glade, and cobbled street, it may be time to explore some of Norfolk’s days out that are specially tailored to family groups with little ones. Popular destinations such as Banham Zoo, the Pleasure Beach and Sea Life Centre in Great Yarmouth, the Dinosaur Adventure Park at Lenwade, Pettitts Adventure Park in Reedham, and Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens are all designed to be enjoyed with children. Wroxham’s Miniature Worlds and Splash Sheringham also offer their own brand of fun; you’re sure to find something within easy reach of your accommodation.

So don’t hesitate; start planning your next holiday getaway today! It’s time to discover how Norfolk can entertain your whole family.
