what to see in norfolk?

be prepared to see a long way, it's *very* flat

Wells is kind of nice, but there are much nicer places along the coasrt that I can't remember the name of.

'there aren't many hills there' and 'it's flat' and 'probably good for riding bikes. because there aren't any hills'

Definitely don't go to see "Honey, I shrunk the Kids" three times in Norwich. It's a crap film. I should know, I went to see it three times in Norwich. I've no recovered yet.

site is a bit buggered

i only heard the expression NFN from my sister when she was a student in norwich; never heard this variant.

Aside from play the new Nathan Fake album ...

Any good Norfolk books, possibly nature related?

everything in norfolk is worth seeing. there is no finer country on this earth.

Mark Cocker's Crow Country starts out in Norfolk. Where is Graham Swift's Waterland set?

Sebald's Rings of Saturn? Roger Deakin has written a lot about Norfolk. This is a pretty good resource: http://www.literarynorfolk.co.uk/search_by_surname.htm

Ah Henry Williamson, now there was a rum old cove.

In 1935, Henry Williamson visited the National Socialist Congress at Nuremberg and was greatly impressed, particularly with the Hitler Youth movement, whose healthy outlook on life he compared with the sickly youth of the London slums.[2][1] He had a "well-known belief that Hitler was essentially a good man who wanted only to build a new and better Germany."[3] He subsequently joined Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists in 1937.[4]

In 1936 he bought a farm in Stiffkey, Norfolk. The Story of a Norfolk Farm (1941) is his account of his first years of farming here.

At the start of World War II Williamson was briefly held under Defence Regulation 18B for his political views, but was released after only a weekend in police custody.[4] Visiting London in January 1944, he observed with satisfaction that the ugliness and immorality represented by its financial and banking sector had been "relieved a little by a catharsis of high explosive" and somewhat "purified by fire." And, "in The Gale of the World, the last book of his Chronicle, published in 1969, Williamson has his main character Phillip Maddison question the moral and legal validity of the Nuremberg Trials".

Seriously, obviously biased because I'm a Norfolk boy born and raised, but if you can think of somewhere nicer to be on a sunny afternoon that Blakeney I'll eat my hat:

Anywhere with a hill tbh

There's a hill in Blakeney. Perfect for a post-mudslide 99.

i mean does arthur ransome go without saying

Thanks all.

Time for my regular "Any north Norfolk coast recommendations (for next week?)" query ...

Any recommendations for Sheringham or thereabouts?

Weird. I didn't ask for north Norfolk recommendations in 2017.

Any for 2018?

it was nice in 2017, i'm sorry you missed it, you should have asked

Strangely I can't remember whether I went to Norfolk in 2017. I should probably head over to "This is the inevitable thread for ILxors in their forties."

Thinking about it, I did.

Anyway, any recommendations for good north Norfolk walks outside the obvious - we tend to do Holkham beach, the sea wall at Cley and bits of the coast path?

Actually, I probably need poor weather plans, too.

Any parts of the Peddars Way particularly good?
