Or perhaps if you enjoy spending your time out on the golf course, visit Dunston Hall for a 18 hole course, or Barnham Broom where they have 2, 18 hole courses to play. If you are on a family getaway why not take your kids to Banham Zoo where you can find animals from giraffes, tigers and penguins. The charming town of Bungay on the Norfolk/Suffolk borders is worth a visit with the Earsham Street end of the town showcasing good delicatessens, antique haunts and a great café with a pretty garden to eat out in when the weather allows. The Broads are less than 45 minutes away and make another lovely day out with over 125 miles of waterway networks to explore and if the coast beckons you can be there in an hour – the beaches on the east coast are sandy, spectacular and often underpopulated even in the summer.
