norfolk broad (day 1)

that was our first visit to Norfolk region, which is on the mid east coast of England.  the thing about Norfolk is that, its right at the end of the east coast and you don't go anywhere else from the coast. it is a low lying county, very flat land, hardly any hill/slope

it was hub's birthday weekend in March 2013..and  we decided to drive to Norfolk for a weekend away. weather wasn't so good - it was rainy and cloudy but then again.. rain or shine, we just packed up and drove 3 hours towards Norwich.

 

 

Norfolk is famous for the man-made Broads, covering 303 sq km with over 125 miles of navigable lock-free waterways set in beautiful countryside and with many charming and picturesque towns and villages. best way to discover The Broads is by boat.

 

 

first stop was Wroxham.

 

then we drove towards Coltishall, 7 miles from Norwich City. our B&B was Bridge House  in the village on the River Bure.  Coltishall is also  known as Gateway to Norfolk Broad



 

 

 we had dinner at the local pub, The Rising Sun. lovely food - fresh seafood & baked potatoes.
