Description

HIGHLIGHTS: Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, Blickling Hall, Norfolk Broads and Broads cruise, Norwich, Holt.
GOLD TOUR: Enjoy extra benefits on Gold Holidays, see below for details.

Under the dramatic wide-open skies of Royal Norfolk, spring heralds the arrival of an abundance of wildlife and fauna. It is a county with vast swathes of patchwork countryside, lit up with daffodils, bluebells, and all of the colours of the season, and a sensational coastline that attracts migrating birds from all over the world. Our base is the excellent Dunston Hall Hotel, just outside the fine city of Norwich, and tour highlights include visits to the award-winning Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, historic Blickling Hall and a cruise on the lovely Norfolk Broads too.

**Please note it is a condition of travel with Grand UK, for all passengers to hold valid travel insurance for the duration of their tour.**

Itinerary

Excursions
FULL DAY: This morning to Blickling Hall, a fine Jacobean mansion with four centuries of history and lovely gardens including a sunken garden and secret garden, amid hosts of golden daffodils in Spring. This afternoon we head to the market town of Holt, with its charming centre and unique independent shops.

HALF DAY: Today we head to Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and Gardens, home to over 100 species of birds that bring the area to life throughout the year. BBC's Springwatch was filmed from here for many years due to the fascinating role it plays complimented by viewing facilities and trails that are suited to all.
