A low-lying county in East Anglia, famous for its Broads, turkeys and big blue skies!

Norfolk was also the birthplace of one of our greatest heroes: Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson. He was born in the quiet village of Burnham Thorpe situated close to Burnham Market which has been described as the 'Chelsea on Sea' of Norfolk.

The county town of Norfolk is Norwich which has a cathedral and a Castle. Norwich Castle was once a prison and between its gateposts was the site of the scaffold, where many Norfolk felons paid the ultimate price for their crimes.
