Norfolk trip recommendations 14:44 - Aug 29 with 1785 views | kizaitfc | Staying in Norfolk for a couple of nights in October and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of places to visit or things to do for a couple in mid 20s. Staying to the east of Thetford so North Suffolk is also within driving distance. | |

Let's not be silly, both Norfolk and Suffolk are beautiful counties. I was counting off the attractions of the two with a friend from Norfolk recently, and he actually came up with 20% more than I did. | |

Norfolk trip recommendations on 09:39 - Aug 30 with 1446 views | GodBlue | Get yourself over to Horsey Gap go see the seals. Bit of a drive, but well worth it. If the weather’s nice, park at Sea Palling (arcade here too!) and walk along the beach to them. You’ll start seeing them in the sea relatively soon, but the colony is a half hour walk or so. If the weather’s not so friendly, park at Horsey, but then I’d recommend driving around the coast towards Wells (good pancake restaurant in a boat - The Albatross - in the harbour) and then maybe Holkham beach. The Victoria at holkham is a really nice Adnams pub for lunch... or was a couple of years ago. But there’s no shortage of excellent pubs out that way. Have fun! | |

as recommended, you can also try parking at Brandon Country Park and walking through to High Lodge - if you have mountain bikes, you can take the various paths and trails around there. Parking at Brandon Country Park is a lot cheaper and its approx. 45-90 mins walk depending on the route you take! | |

Norfolk trip recommendations on 10:15 - Aug 30 with 1393 views | Churchman | Norfolk is a beautiful county. We stayed near Wymondham for a few days recently and spent time in Cromer, Sheringham, Wells, Broadlands and tootled round a fair chunk of it. The only place I’d avoid is Great Yarmouth. My mum was born there and I loved visiting it as a child, but it’s a right old dump. The last time I’d been was for my grandmothers funeral 29 years ago. It hadn’t improved! | | | | Login to get fewer ads

There is a particularly pristine model which had just one outing; when the local football team paraded through the city to celebrate their 3rd place finish in Division Three (South) in 1932. | |

Going the other way from Horsey, Winterton is gorgeous too. I got a broads day boat from Sutton Staithe the other day - very cute waterways from there around Barton Broad. All a bit far from Thetford maybe, unless the op doesn't mind a drive. | |

Agree with all of this. The Elveden Inn is a nice place with lots of beers on too. | |
