Looking for somewhere to wander around on your day off, somewhere to retreat with your thoughts and take time out or just a place where the kids can run wild? These beautiful parks in Norfolk could be the ideal spot.
Eaton Park
Located on South Park Avenue in Norwich, Eaton Park is a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Great for those wanting to take a casual stroll, or for entertaining children as the park boasts a boating lake, skate park, football pitch, playground and a crazy golf course. On a sunny day, you could take a seat by the Pavilion and spend hours watching the world go by, or in the summer you can attend concerts in the bandstand.
Holt Country Park
This Park is dominated by tranquil woodland and is situated on the edge of the Norfolk coast area. Spend a day getting lost among the many Scots Pines and native Broad-Leaved trees.
Snettisham Park
This park is definitely an ideal place to take your children. The 329 acre working farm has lots to offer visitors, including a deer safari and lamb feeding sessions. There are also several trails and walks to follow, such as the archaeology trail which reveals the interesting origins of the farm land.
Sheringham Park
This landscape park and gardens surrounds Sheringham Hall and is in the care of the National trust. All year round the walks provide visitors with spectacular views of the local area, including the coast and steam railway line. It is a particularly popular location in the summer months, when its rhododendron bushes are in full bloom.
