Sightseeing
Norwich Castle is currently undergoing some refurbishment but it is still a great place to visit. There is a fascinating exhibition running at the moment about the story of the wreck of the Gloucester with several artefacts, including the ships bell, wine bottles and other artefacts including clothing, spectacles and other personal effects. There’s also a long running exhibition of Norwich artists including the wonderful works of John Sell Cotman who painted some beautiful pieces of local scenes. Great for adults and children.

Southwold has a lot to offer. Many of the pubs and hotels are owned and run by the local brewery Adnams where you are able to do a tour. The beach is lovely and the harbour great for fresh fish and chips.
