 Locality
From this delightful base on the eastern outskirts
of Norwich, you are within easy reach of the city centre (2¸
miles), the Norfolk Broads National Park, numerous historic
sites and buildings, nature reserves, golf courses and leisure
facilities and miles of coastline renowned for clean, sandy
beaches, wildlife and fresh seafood.
A short distance across the road is a lovely riverside walk
where you often see herons, several species of geese and other
waterfowl as well as the occasional kingfisher. In springtime
nesting swans and grebes can also be seen. In the garden, we
enjoy many nesting and visiting birds including wrens, greenfinches,
song thrushes and the occasional woodpecker as well as the more
usual blackbirds, robins and blue and great tits.
