Sunsets

Cromer

Cromer’s Victorian pier has the last end-of-pier theatre in the country with year-round shows, particularly during the Summer and at Christmas.

Cley Marshes

Cley Marshes at sunset, with Cley Windmill visible on the left. Purchased in 1926, the marshes made up England’s first Wildlife Trust reserve and remain one of the best birdwatching spots in the country.

WELLS-NEXT-THE-SEA

Count the beach huts and take a stroll through the pine woods. If it’s low tide you could take a walk to find the seashore… it’s about a mile away!

Burnham Overy Staithe

The spot where Lord Horatio Nelson, who was born at nearby Burnham Thorpe, learnt to sail.

Norwich

Enjoy the view from Mousehold Heath and pick out the landmarks such as both cathedrals, City Hall and St Peter Mancroft Church.

Blakeney

Take a boat trip to see the seal colony on Blakeney Point, the largest colony in the country.

Waveney Valley

This peaceful valley on the NorfolkSuffolk border is a great place to explore on foot… or hire a canoe.

Buckenham

The flat land of south Norfolk made it perfect for the concrete airfields of the US Mighty Eighth Air Force, including Buckenham where the Hollywood actor James Stewart served as base commander, leading his men into raids over Nazi-occupied Europe.

Hunstanton

Hunstanton is the only east coast resort that faces West so you’re guaranteed spectacular sunsets over The Wash.

The Broads National Park

This is Turf Fen Windmill reflecting in the River Ant at sunset, but pretty much anywhere in the Broads is a great place to enjoy the last of the day.

Thetford Forest

Thetford Forest is the largest lowland pine forest in Britain, located on the Norfolk-Suffolk border. You may not be able to see the wood for the trees, but you can enjoy a sunset.
