Since its launch, Norfolk E-Map Explorer has proved to be very popular with users. Much of the feedback that we get comes from those with an interest in local history and we have found that it has proved to be a valuable resource to serious local historians as well as those with a more casual interest. The information provided with the maps allows users of E-Map Explorer to draw on the site as part of wider research.

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.

North Norfolk beaches are spectacular. Gwyneth Paltrow was shown walking across the vast golden beach at Holkham at the end of the film Shakespeare in Love.
