North West
Norfolk is unique with a mix of wonderfully
unspoilt coastline and countryside, history and heritage and
family fun and entertainment.. A Seaside
for All Seasons
The coastline, much
of it an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasts miles of
untouched beaches, dunes and marshland and is a haven for
birds and wild life and supports two RSPB nature reserves,
particularly popular with birdwatchers in the winter
months. It is the perfect place to relax.
Alternatively, for a traditional family seaside holiday, you
couldn't find better than Hunstanton, overlooking the Wash,
with its clean, safe beaches and miles of sand, shops,
restaurants and award-wining leisure resorts.
Hunstanton boasts the Princess Theatre with its year-round
programme of entertainment and the Oasis Leisure Centre for
family fun both in and out of the water. There is also a
funfair, adventure golf and the Sealife Centre. |
The
Discover West Norfolk website is organised by the
Discover West Norfolk group of attractions.
