Hengrave Meadow Glamping

Itching to explore some of East Anglia? Chuck some boots, poles and sun cream in the boot if you fancy car-free strolls on Marriott's Way (five minutes' drive), a scenic 26-mile path that follows two disused railway lines. Pottering about in the Broads (25 minutes) is another popular option, and coastal walks starting at Cromer or Sheringham are half an hour away by road. Two top-rated National Trust properties are close by if you fancy genteel ambles around historic grounds: Blickling Hall (20 minutes) is a rather spectacular 17th-century mansion with ornate painted ceilings, while Felbrigg Hall (30 minutes) has lavish interiors, lakes and woodlands to meander through. All that is lovely – but what about when you've got young kids to entertain? Child-pleasing outings for budding palaeontologists are up for grabs at Roarr Dinosaur Adventure (10 minutes), and Banham Zoo (50 minutes) is worth the drive for enthusiastic natural historians. On top of that, Norwich (25 minutes) has bowling alleys, cinemas, some excellent swimming pools and live entertainment for almost all tastes.
