After our visit to see the Tony Cragg exhibition at Houghton Hall, we headed to the Dabbling Duck in Great Massingham for dinner. It was our second visit to the pub and it definitely won’t be our last. Let me share my honest review of the Dabbling Duck in Great Massingham. About the Dabbling Duck …
Houghton Hall is hosting a sculpture exhibition featuring Tony Cragg until 26 September 2021. We went for the opening day and wanted to share our experience so you can decide if you want to go. About Houghton Hall Even without a special art exhibition, Houghton Hall is worth visiting. It’s one of the finest examples …
Wayland Wood may be best known as the location for the “Babes in the Wood” tale, but we didn’t see any ghosts during our visit. Instead it was a lovely walk through the wood where we saw plenty of bluebells, a muntjac, and more. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back again. If you are thinking …
When you start seeing the bluebells in England, you know spring has arrived. It’s one of my favourite times of year as the weather starts to get warmer and the sweet scent of bluebells is in the air. It’s worth making a trip (or two) to see the bluebells at their best, but you need …
In the middle of a modern neighbourhood on the edge of Caister-on-Sea, there is a field of ruins. These ruins date back to Roman times when the field was a small island on the north side of a large estuary, where the key rivers entered the sea. A fort was needed to protect these important …

You’ll want to explore the ruins and go inside …
It’s hard to believe there are more than 2,000 known Iron Age hill forts in Britain. In Norfolk, the best preserved one is the Warham Camp Iron Age Hill Fort. Warham Camp is in the North Norfolk countryside and not visible from any road. While it may not be as big as Maiden Castle in …
Typically you only expect to see light trails during the the Christmas season, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear that there was going to be one in the spring at the Raveningham Centre. Since we had enjoyed the sculpture trail they do every summer, I was excited to check out Woodland Lumiere 2021. Let …
The Norfolk Coast Path runs 84 miles from Hunstanton to Hopton-on-Sea. You don’t have the walk the whole length to enjoy it. If you are looking for a short section that’s not too difficult but still has the spectacular views why not try the Beeston Bump walk. It starts from the town of Sheringham and …
The beautiful natural scenery is one of the main things that brings people to Norfolk. It’s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the great outdoors except when the weather doesn’t cooperate. Unfortunately, we need rain to keep everything green and lush. When it rains, it’s not as much fun to be outside. What should …
