Surrounding Area - Things to do

SURROUNDING AREA

 

There are many beautiful walks just a step away from the cottage and within a 5 minute drive are two good pubs and a community shop.  

Blickling Hall is a Jacobean stately home situated in 5,000 acres of parkland in a loop of the River Bure and where the ghost of Ann Bolyen is reputedly to be present.  The property and surrounding area is meticulously managed by The National Trust.  The gardens are a pure delight in the Spring. 

Just a short walk from the cottage is Mannington Hall, a moated medieval country house which opens it's gardens and cafe in the summer along with hosting many events including my favourite, the 'Vintage Lover Fair' in May.

Little Barningham is equatable distance between two towns, Holt, which is full of independent shops, galleries and cafes and Aylsham, a visually attractive small town which still has a Monday Auction, both these are just 12 minutes away.

Cromer, a traditional Victorian seaside town is just 10 miles away.  Use my beach hut for a day, book to learn to surf, or dawdle on the promenade watching others surf whilst drinking a coffee from North Sea Coffee Co or enjoying an ice-cream!
