In the village of Blickling, and at the centre of a breathtaking estate, sits one of the finest attractions in Norfolk – Blickling Hall. The birthplace of Anne Boleyn, Blickling Hall is a Jacobean home built in the 1600s that is naturally steeped in history. One look at the fantastic ornaments, artefacts, and decorations on offer will take you back to Jacobean and Georgian times.

Thetford Forest is a pristine woodland area filled with beautiful pine trees. A popular destination for mountain bikers, take to one of the many trails that weave through the greenery and provide spectacular views. There are trails available for both beginners and experienced bikers, but if you fancy staying firmly on solid ground, you can roam the forest by foot, searching for statues of everything from the animals of the forest to Thetford’s most famous son, Thomas Paine. Thetford Forest is also a place for adventure, with Go Ape letting you swing from the tree tops, and the pines providing great cover while you hunt out your friends in a round of paintball.
