Norfolk Broads
Much of the area east of Norwich is criss-crossed with
a series of navigable inland waterways, known as the Norfolk
Broads. It has become a popular holiday retreat for visitors hiring
houseboats and cruisers to tour these waterways, which wind through
quaint towns and offer fantastic fishing for keen anglers. There
are many companies willing to rent boats to
holidaymakers.
Holkham Hall
Holkham is home to the Earl and Countess of Leicester
and has been owned by their family since 1609. The formidable 18th
century Palladian Hall is the centre of a 25,000-acre estate on the
north coast of Norfolk. Within the house are some magnificent state
rooms including the vast Marble Hall, which features a magnificent
art collection including paintings by Rubens and Van Dyke. Visitors
can also view the old kitchens that catered for the family and
their enormous entourage. Within the old stables is the Bygones
Museum, which displays fascinating exhibits from times gone by
including a history of farming. The park surrounding the hall is
popular with locals and tourists alike, as is Holkham beach, which
attracts sunbathers and swimmers on warm days.
