Description
HIGHLIGHTS: Cromer, Sheringham, Norfolk Broads Cruise, Norwich, Free day in Great Yarmouth
Norfolk is a county of wide-open landscapes, winding rivers, rolling heathland, sleepy villages and proud market towns. A county of undoubted scenic beauty, rich in beautiful coastlines and abundant in wildlife. Our base of Great Yarmouth is a lively seaside resort, set on a wide stretch of sandy beach with a wonderful level promenade and bursting with traditional amusements and holiday entertainment.
**Please note it is a condition of travel with Grand UK, for all passengers to hold valid travel insurance for the duration of their tour.**
Itinerary
Excursions
FULL DAY: A full day tour heading for the North Norfolk coast to reach Sheringham, a busy little resort with a fine sandy beach, a myriad of small seaside shops and the preserved sail powered lifeboat is worth visiting. Our second coastal visit takes us to nearby Cromer, a small Victorian holiday resort set on a bluff above the sea. The prominent church tower, which dominates the town, is the highest in Norfolk, there are lovely cliff-top gardens, and fishing boats on the beach catch succulent crabs which are found just off the coast.
FULL DAY: This morning we head into the heart of the famous Norfolk Broads, where we include a delightful cruise on these popular waterways. This afternoon we make our way into the historic city of Norwich where you can explore the medieval lanes, superb shopping centres, or visit the famous Norman cathedral.
FREE DAY TO EXPLORE: Enjoy a day at leisure to discover Great Yarmouth, from its famous market and fascinating local museums, to its delightful level promenade and seaside attractions.
