A place for all the family, a stately home and walled garden, parkland to explore either on bike, foot or by boat on the lake, and swing through the trees on the high ropes. And you can have cup of coffee in the cafe without accessing the hall.

There are many options with Wells. The sandy beach which is a mile out of town with colourful beach huts is great for playing in the sand with children, walking the dog, paddling and swimming (lifeguards on the beach). Cafe and toilets in the beach car park. The harbour provides a great spot to sit and look, take the children crabbing, grab some fish and chips and ice cream, either eat in or out of the paper. And wander through the town with its selection of small shops. The Albatross is moored in the harbour for a drink on board or the Fleece has good food and a drink on offer.

On the edge of the broads at Coltishall is the pub doing great food, highly recommend the pizza and loaded fries. They also have takeaway drinks and food so you can sit on the green overlooking the boats and water, so take a blanket and relax
