Eaton park is one of the best green spaces in Norwich. It is great for sports and has pitch and…read moreputt, tennis, bowls and croquet areas. There are also flat playing fields for more informal ball games and running around. All the paths are smooth and flat and are ideal for children to ride their bikes on in a safe environment away from roads. My children's favourite part is of course the play area which is all built over sand so don't forget to bring your buckets and spades with you too! As well as spending a great deal of time here we also like to play games of Hide and Seek in and around the Rose Garden and try and spot fish and frogs in the Lily Pond. Be warned if you have very young children as this is not fenced off. There is also a model steam railway (open Sundays only in the summer) and a model yacht pond. The focal point of the park is the bandstand in the centre of the park. A small coffee shop and toilet facilities are also to be found near here. We always enjoy our time here and of course it's free!

An interesting one to give 5 stars. We didn't spend more than 5-10 minutes there.

If you happen to be down at Wells beach, drop by, have a look and spend a bit of money.

Situated on the north coast of Norfolk, this beach is a little out of the way, but definitely worth…read morea special trip. I go there at least once every summer, even though it means three hour drive from London. The beach is a part of Holkham Hall and Estate, and boasts miles and miles of sandy shores, sand dunes and unspoilt nature. I can't think of a better place to relax and unwind, with picnic basket in hand. I make a point of visiting during the week, as there is hardly anybody about, so the feeling of peace and tranqulity is even heightened. With sun on my face, warm sand under my feet, ocean waves rolling to and fro, and occasional horse rider for company, one can only think of one word to describe the feeling - bliss. The entrance to the beach is lined with pine trees, which add a special feel to the place. It is hard to tear yourself from the beach once you are there, although the nearby Holkham Estate is definitely worth visiting too. There are parking facilities at the beach entrance, as well as Holkham Hall itself, at a very reasonable rate.

If you go to Norfolk you must go to this beach. Whilst it doesn't have pure, pure sand - your kids…read morewon't mind. They will love it. Park opposite the gates to Holkham Hall. You will have to pay for this parking. There is no other way to access this beach. You can park in the village but you risk annoying the villagers and you will have to cross a very busy and dangerous road. Park as close down the car park as you can. Once you leave your car and go across the cattle grid you are in for a very, very long walk. With little kids it can take easily 20-25 minutes to walk. You must take everything with you - there is a cafe at the bottom of the car park for you to stock up - because you won't want to return before the end of the day. There are no amenities or lifeguard on the beach. So you'll end up like a pack horse and leave room to carry one of the kids back! Also wear beach shoes. On the tourist information it will talk about the sandy beach. Well, it is sandy but with lots of stones and razor shells in it! When you get onto the beach you will love the vast expanse of it. No-one will be on top of you. You can walk for miles if you want. It's the ideal recreation beach. The water is cold but it is clean and realtively shallow. Leave enough energy for the walk back!
