Close by is Hickling Broad, with a nature reserve that links to the Norfolk Broad’s unique topography of reed-lined waterways, famous for their good coarse fishing, boating, and rich variety of wildlife, especially waterfowl.

The city of Norwich (21 miles), with its cathedral, castle, museums, galleries, restaurants, cinema, theatre, and shopping with two malls and market square is within easy driving distance.
For another great day out, visit Horsey Gap (National Trust) where you can walk on the sand dunes and see the seals and pups on the beach (November to February). Beach 3 miles. Two pubs within walking distance serving great food and craft beers. Winbirri Vinyard is 35 mins drive, or if beer is more your thing check out Woodfords and The Redwell Brewing and tap room. Lots of fantastic restaurants and gastro pubs nearby, the full list of which will be included for you in the welcome pack and includes many dog-friendly recommendations.
