This beautiful national park sits in in the largest area of wetlands in the UK. Pick up your boat from Wroxham and cruise down the river to Horning; there are plenty of things to see along the way, such as Bure Marshes Nature Reserve, and once you\u2019re in Horning you can moor up outside the Swan Inn for some lunch! Should you wish to stay for the whole weekend, houseboats are as cheap as \u00a322 a night per person.<\/p>\n<h2>Take a trip to Blakeney Point Seal Colony<\/h2>\n<p>In recent years Blakeney has become the largest colony of seals in England. It\u2019s home to two species, common and grey, which can be seen around all year, but if you want to see the adorable pups visit any time from June until January. Getting to the beach on foot is a bit of a slog \u2014 it\u2019s better to go on a boat trip from Morston Quay. If you\u2019re lucky, a curious seal might swim up to the boat to check you out!<\/p>\n<h2>Explore the Deep History Coast<\/h2>\n<p>The Deep History Coast stretches from West Runton to Happisburgh via Cromer in north-east Norfolk, and it\u2019s a history lover\u2019s paradise. It\u2019s home to the earliest evidence of humans outside Africa and to the largest and most mammoth skeleton in the world, part of which is housed in Cromer Museum. After you\u2019re done exploring the fascinating prehistoric finds, head to a seafood restaurant. Due to the chalk reef offshore Cromer, the seafood is phenomenal. Make sure you try some crab while you\u2019re there!<\/p>\n<h2>Visit Happisburgh Owls<\/h2>\n<p>If the idea of getting up close and personal with a whole collection of tame owls sounds good to you, look no further. This quirky experience is Instagram gold, and a great weekend day trip for any animal lover. The owls are captive bred and very comfortable with people \u2014 their day job is to visit schools and old people\u2019s homes for educational purposes \u2014 so they are more than happy to perch on you and be stroked under the supervision of trained falconers\/owl experts.<\/p>\n<h2>Enjoy Pleasure Beach<\/h2>\n<p>An iconic Norfolk seaside experience. It\u2019s fun to explore Great Yarmouth\u2019s Golden Mile \u2014 which boasts plenty of pubs, restaurants and fish and chip shops beside the arcades and rollarcoasters \u2014 at any time of year, but it\u2019s best in summer. The Haven Great Yarmouth Air Show (this year on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 June 2018) is naturally the highlight of the season. Don\u2019t forget to try the doughnuts while you watch. They\u2019re almost too good to be legal.<\/p>\n<h2>What do you think of these fun things to do in Norfolk? Let us know in the comment section below!<\/h2>\n<h6>Featured Image Source: www.
