Beyond London: East of England

Within easy reach of London, the East of England offers unspoilt countryside, ancient architecture and fascinating traditions.

Enjoy a relaxing boat trip through the inland waterways of the Norfolk Broads, Britain's largest protected wetland; or take to the water in the Fens, where you can see an enormous array of birds and plants. 

Countryside lovers can also check out the beautiful chalk downs, heaths, forests and ancient woodlands.

Explore the university city of Cambridge with its ancient colleges and churches, and have a go at punting along the river. 

Visit the medieval city of Norwich, with its superb cathedral, 12th-century castle and vibrant mix of arts and shopping; or Colchester, Britain’s oldest recorded town, where you can see Roman remains and Europe's largest Norman castle keep.

Don't miss the beautiful coastline when you're in the East of England. From the pebbly beaches of Suffolk to fairground rides on the pier at Clacton-on-Sea, there's plenty to keep the whole family entertained.
