Norfolk

Norfolk is a county in East Anglia sharing borders with the counties of Suffolk, Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. Its coastline runs from the easternmost point of England to The Wash.

The county is primarily rural in character and, like much of East Anglia, is flat and low-lying. It is a popular destination for tourists. The most frequently visited areas of the county include the picturesque North Norfolk Coast, the popular seaside town of Great Yarmouth and the Broads National Park.

Norwich - Norfolk’s county town, as well as a cathedral and university city, is also an interesting place to visit, providing the region’s main cultural, economic and entertainment facilities. The county is also dotted with fascinating little villages and market towns, and many of those along the coastline provide picture postcard scenes.
