For the younger members of the family, visit the Children’s Play Village, filled with soft fantasy realism of a real village, this will be a play time they won’t forget. For a more relaxed trip, there’s lots of beautiful gardens to explore, including Hill Close garden, Jephson gardens and Guy’s Cliffe Walled Garden.
Throughout the year, Norfolk is a great place to take a staycation. Whether you want to pitch a tent on one of the many campsites around Norfolk, book a caravan or a holiday home, there are plenty of accommodation options.
Wherever you decide to stay, you’ll never be far from the coast! Spend a day in Cromer, visit the grounds of Holkham and its beach, or choose from one of the many other beaches in the area. If you fancy heading onto the water, book a boat for the day on the beautiful Norfolk Broads and see the Norfolk country side from a different perspective.
Whether your kids are young, or coming in to their teens, Devon is a great place to keep kids of all ages entertained. For older children, surf lessons will keep them occupied in the day time – and for little ones, there are plenty of animal-themed adventures!
