One of the delights of travelling is to sample the food of the part of the world you are visiting. England will not be a disappointment to your palette.
Regional Food EnglandNorwich is at the heart of Norfolk and each year thousands of tourists descend on the city to experience the sites and sounds and taste the food on offer. Although, it now has an abundance of fast food outlets and all the modern shops that you can find in any other European city, if you seek out the traditional Norfolk restaurants and explore it's ancient quarter, you will discover this historic capital of Norfolk.
This famous Norfolk tourist attraction has 125 miles of lock free waterways waiting for you to discover. The Norfolk Broads is not only about boats but there is an abundance of wildlife to see and walks in peaceful surroundings. Relax and slow down from your busy life, enjoy the local pubs and regional food.
I love the Norfolk coast with it's good beaches and seaside towns like Cromer, the market town and fishing port of King's Lynn.
If you are from the county of Norfolk, you might know about some interesting facts about the county. Please let me know so I can share it with others.
The Broads National Park covers an area of 117 square miles (303 square kilometres), with the majority being in Norfolk, with over 120 miles (200 kilometres) of navigable waterways. There are seven rivers and 63 broads, the vast majority is less than 13 feet (4 metres) deep. Thirteen broads are generally open to navigation, with a further three having navigable channels.
This region is full of hiking trails and is very popular with those that like the outdoor life. A number of cycle routes criss cross the county. Horse lovers can enjoy the bridal ways in Norfolk.
Norfolk in winter is when you need to wrap up warm before going for bracing walks. Watch the geese arrive for winter at RSPB Titchwell Marsh or admire the winter gardens at Pensthorpe Natural Park, Fakenham. With over 200 animals and birds, explore a different country, South America and their indoor play area, Jungle Tumbles, at the Amazona Zoo in Cromer.
Norfolk being an agricultural land, each year Plough Sunday celebrations usually involve bringing a ploughshare into a church with prayers for the blessing of the land. It is traditionally held on the Sunday after Epiphany, the Sunday between 7 January and 13 January. Accordingly, work in the fields did not begin until the day after Plough Sunday: Plough Monday.
The Norfolk Historic Buildings Group (NHBG) was founded in 2000 to bring together people who enjoy and appreciate old buildings and want to learn more about them.
