 south and west u have potter heigham,(broads tours)hire a day boat,sit and watch the boats negotiate the bridge etc.enjoying a nice lunch and wine/beer.plenty to do in there,big store for clothes etc.

 then u have wroxham,same thing,boats,river etc,plus roys of wroxham!!!they r all round the town,various stores,what roys don't have u'll never get.

  go up the coast past cromer,take a trip on the steam railway,watch for the seals and dolphins off the coast.many more things to do and see up there,will browse thro all my leaflets and brochures here and post some on here for u later.

Oh swiftsure you have just reminded me of why i love the broads. Been down there quite a few times both actually on the boats and now camping. Mind you even when we camp we still have a day boat and take ourselves out on the river. Your so right about wroxham roy owns it doesnt he, theres everything from roys clothes to roys garden centre and obviously roys food hall.

As for your question eatontracey there is loads of seaside resorts round there including another of our faves, Cromer. They have a great carnival week up there, i think this year its around middle of august, might be worth checking on the dates definately worth a visit if so. But even without the carnival its a lovely quaint seaside town and from its pier you find loads of people fishing for crabs, seems to be really well known for the crabs there.

There is also things like Maize mazes, (i think) a dinosaur adventure park.
