Top 4 Things To Do in Norfolk in the Autumn

Autumn is a peaceful time in Norfolk when the pace slows and you can always find a steaming hot chocolate or a quiet place to sit and watch the turning colours of nature. Birdwatchers will have the chance to see thousands of birds as they migrate south from the Arctic, whilst crunching along the shingle of one of Norfolkโ€™s beaches is a rosy-cheeked delight when hand-in-hand with your love.

2. Explore the Best Coastal Walks

A designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty โ€“ the Norfolk Coast is made up of miles of wide, sandy beaches and pretty seaside towns. If you like coastal walks, the Norfolk Coast offers some of the most magical walking experiences in England. Holkham Beach is voted one of the best beaches in the UK and offers a different kind of beauty in autumn.
