South
of Norfolk and the Suffolk and Norfolk Broads National Park (to give
the area its true name) is an area of slow-moving rivers, fens, marshes,
woodland and open countryside. Very much a rural idyll, the narrow lanes
trace the ancient field boundaries; lonely flint clad churches, traditional
barns and country houses abound. Here the ancient villages and small
towns have changed little in years, despite being just a short drive
from the wonderful city of Norwich, with, it is claimed, a church for
every week and a pub for every day of the year, make this a fascinating
area to visit at any time of the year.
From Beccles and Bungay in the South to Wroxham and Potter Heigham there
are around fifty shallow lakes and some 190 kilometres of waterways.
Busy in the summer, there are yet some excellent quiet cycle routes and
footpaths both beside the water, and across the beautiful countryside
south of Norfolk.
of Norwich
contains the remains of the town built by the Romans following the defeat
of Boudicca. Norwich, it seems was developed by the Anglo-Saxons as early
as 410 AD. The Vikings, Late Saxons and Normans all made their mark.
Work began on the Cathedral in 1096, although it took around 200 years
to complete. A stone castle was begun in 1125, now rebuilt, the castle
contains a superb museum housing fine collections of art, archaeology
and natural history. Medieval buildings abound and the narrow cobbled
streets and river walks are well worth exploring.
bank
of the River Waveney, lies Beccles (river-pasture), another ancient market
town with excellent town museum and very good shopping area and market.
The streets and lanes are peppered with fine Georgian town houses. Down
by the river is the quay and a series of landing stages – a wonderful
place for a walk or a boat trip. Just outside the town lie two fine old
houses, Roos Hall, a lofty Elizabethan fragment and Worlingham Hall,
a late 18th century mansion, its rich interior by Francis Sandys.
Norfolk side
of the Waveney Valley. It has a wealth of interesting architecture and
is surrounded by the picturesque countryside made famous by the local
painter, Sir Alfred Munnings. The modern day Harleston is known nationally
for its 'Magpies', not just the birds, but for one of England's top Hockey
Clubs for boys, girls, men and women.
