We are also close to Holt, Burnham Market and other historical well known towns in North Norfolk. Most importantly we are two minutes from The Thursford Christmas Spectacular. We offer pre theatre meals for the show and always get you to the show on time. Norwich is a forty minute drive away and is a very beautiful historical town to visit with a beautiful cathedral. We are also very close to Pensthorpe Nature Reserve recently featured on BBC's Springwatch. Another fabulous place to visit.
