Norfolk is located in eastern England, featuring flat terrain and a northeastern coastline facing the North Sea. Its county town, Norwich, preserves its medieval character with Norwich Cathedral, Norwich Castle, and the historic Elm Hill. The Norfolk Broads offer a network of waterways, with Wroxham serving as the hub for boating. The north coast boasts Holkham Beach and the colorful beach huts of Wells-next-the-Sea, while Blakeney Point and Horsey Gap are prime spots for seal watching, with winter being the pupping season for grey seals. Notable estates include Sandringham, Holkham, and Blickling. Spring to autumn is ideal for boating and coastal walks.
