Jutting into the North Sea, Norfolk is one of England’s largest and most diverse counties. With no motorways and few large towns, its sense of remoteness is exactly what draws visitors and delights those who live here. Once the country’s most prosperous region, Norfolk is rich in history, reflected in its market towns, idyllic villages and a skyline of medieval church towers – the county has the greatest concentration of medieval churches in the world. Though it feels far from everywhere, Norfolk is surprisingly accessible, just a few hours from London or the Midlands. Predominantly rural, its landscapes are more varied than expected, from the sandy forests and heathlands of the Brecks to the wetlands of the Broads and the dunes and beaches of the North and East Coast. 111 Places in Norfolk That You Shouldn't Miss uncovers ancient secrets and hidden stories, revealing places you might otherwise pass by.
