With its long coastline and variety of scenic interests including woodland and forests the Norfolk landscape is filled with ancient churches, windmills, picturesque villages. As a contrast the vibrant university city of Norwich offers a wonderful fusion of the modern and historic and is the only English city in a National Park. The waterways of the Norfolk Broads National Park extend into Waveney, which runs along the border of Norfolk and Suffolk. The Waveney Valley is an unspoilt haven of wildlife, idyllic villages and market towns where you can find plenty of ways to escape the frantic pace of everyday life.
