A holiday in Norfolk is not a glamorous break. While the Norfolk Broads of East Anglia are a beautiful part of the UK, they represent a relaxing rural getaway rather than a high-powered city-break. Although its reputation is mostly rural, with people associating the county mostly with the wetlands of the Norfolk Broads, there are also towns such as Norwich and King's Lynn to visit, both of which provide shopping opportunities, nightlife and entertainment. Norfolk also contains a large stretch of coastline, and seaside destinations such as Cromer and Great Yearmouth mean there are great beaches to be found as well. Many areas of the Norfolk Broads and the coastal region are sites of outstanding natural beauty, and are also protected as bird reserves, so take a pair of binoculars on holiday. There are also popular wildlife attractions such as Banham Zoo, with a great collection of big cats, and Great Yarmouth's Sea Life Centre, one of the biggest of its kind in the country, complete with tropical sharks and conger eels. And of course, if any of your family are interested in boating, you'll need to rent a boat and explore the waterways of the Broads themselves!

As a family we holiday in Norfolk every spring. We love visiting the Yarmouth Stadium for greyhound racing, and last year had a delicious dinner in the main restaurant watching the dogs. We were booked in for dinner and racing again this year, and had paid a deposit. Sadly due to the coronavirus outbreak the evening had to be cancelled. I wanted to write a review to say how impressed we were that Yarmouth Stadium called us to explain the situation and refund us our money without any prompting. Emma was polite, courteous and very efficient on the phone. We look forward to visiting again next year.

A day out at Fakenham Races lends itself to be one of the top days out in Norfolk for the whole family. With racecourse entry costing from just £10 for an adult and all children under 18 years old coming for free, it is a fun and affordable day outdoors. There are 13 jump race meetings in the fixture card between the months October and June with some of the most popular meetings on New Year's Day, Easter Monday and annual Jarrold Ladies Day in June. Fakenham Racecourse is also home to an all year round caravan site with over 120 pitches, some overlooking the racecourse and others within the racecourse grounds. There are toilet and shower facilities and free WIFI on site. With only 30 minutes drive away from the coast, Fakenham Racecourse caravan site is an ideal location for your caravan holiday away from a busy hustle at the seaside, but with an easy access to award-winning Norfolk beaches.
We stayed here for 3 nights, nice site, we were beside the club house and race course. Loud music from club house Saturday night but only until 11.30 ish. Clean and tidy with grass being cut around you. Very close to town centre 10/15 minutes walk via footpath.
