Family days out in Norfolk
We love a day out whether it’s just a weekend day popping out somewhere, or a day out while on holiday. I’m reliving my childhood visiting around the UK, near home and further away, and love sharing it with N. So if you’re looking for days out in Warwickshire, you’re in the right place.
This series of days out posts are based on round ups of places we’ve loved on our travels. Hopefully it’ll make them easier for you to find, especially if you’re looking for recommendations for places to visit. I’ll also be including recommendations from other bloggers, because if you’re looking for guidance on where to go you want to hear from local people as well as visitors to an area.
Museums, culture and history
Old fashioned steam engines, carousel, and time your visit to hear the wurlitzer concerts. Or visit for the Christmas Spectacular.

I think it would be all beach huts and fish and chips for me, lovely photos and great fun and exercise.

We love Norfolk and we are really going to miss it when we move. Great round up. Thanks for including me
