Sightseeing
The beautiful cathedral is worth a visit during your stay. The doors are open early and it's free to visit. Like the castle, it was built by the Normans and has many architectural secrets to surprise you, including some rather lovely cloisters. Visit the café and the gift shop or just have a walk through and soak up the tranquil atmosphere.

If this is your first visit to Norfolk, and you have your own transport, it is definitely worth the drive to visit Holkham Beach and Nature Reserve. One of the loveliest beaches in Norfolk, with sand dunes, a huge sandy beach, pine woods and plenty of gorgeous walks. There's parking (for a small fee) at the beach itself and the pub opposite the car park does a rather good range of traditional pub fare if all the walking gives you an appetite!
