Discover Norfolk

Rural Norfolk

Enchanted forests flanked by rolling hills, checkered fields and peaceful byways make rural Norfolk the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of daily life. The area celebrates local, you’ll find arts and craft fairs, food festivals or events happening all year round. Walk, jog, cycle and horse-ride your way through the quiet country lanes and stunning scenery.

Local Features

Oozing with post card perfect rural villages, grand historical homes, medieval churches and vast undulating landscapes that bristle with wildlife, you’re spoilt for choice.

Castle Acre, a pretty village nestled on the River Nar, with stunning Norman Castle ruins and an English Heritage priory makes for a magical day out. Bring your National Trust pass and head to Oxburgh Hall, a medieval red brick manor hugged by beautifully manicured gardens and a charming woodland trail and lake.

Rural Norfolk Musts

Whether you’re walking or cycling, or looking for something more thrilling like swinging through the treetops at Go Ape, Thetford Forest is a must.

Join the famous ancient Roman road Peddars Way, traversing the diverse landscape as you go from easy routes to rugged terrain, stretching 93 miles from Knettishall to Holme-next-the-Sea.

Grab the gang, fury friends included and head to the award winning Sculthorpe Mill for a delicious pub meal that will appeal to all the senses.
