The Grove Glamping

Focusing on creatures from South America, Amazona Zoo (five minutes’ drive) is home to jaguars, capybaras and dozens of colourful birds, including macaws and toucans. When you’re done looking at tropical beasties, there’s also a playground with jumping pillows and an indoor soft-play area for the under-12s. You can admire artworks and tapestries as you wander through the grand rooms at Blickling Hall (20 minutes), a National Trust-run Jacobean mansion. Alternatively, you can stay outside, admiring the orangery and the topiary hedges in the formal garden, or strolling around the whopping 4,600 acres of parkland. National Trust - Blakeney National Nature Reserve (35 minutes) is known for its salt marshes, which attract breeding grey seals in the winter months and terns in the summer. A boat trip is one of the best ways to explore this area.
