A is for… Animals

The Norfolk Broads and nearby coast are rich with wildlife, including deer, otters, seals and all manner of wading and sea birds, and more fish than you can imagine – and that’s not including the many species of insect that you’re likely to spy too. A self-catering break in Norfolk is likely to be occupied by games of ‘I Spy’, and you’ll adore locating all manner of birds and beasties during your trip.
