| Publisher Description: From the bustling heart of historic Norwich to the tranquillity of the north coast, Norfolk is a place of contrasts. Tiny villages, the agricultural landscape and the world-famous Norfolk Broads are all parts of the panorama that is Norfolk. This is a book that will take you from the fun of the fair at Great Yarmouth to sequestered spots of historic interest. Boats and beaches, piers and pubs, stately houses and steam railways - they're all here in a lovingly painted picture of Norfolk today. 50 Gems of Norfolk explores some of the places that make the county special. Taking in some well-known locations as well as exploring some quieter byways, this is a look at places to see and things do in this remarkable place. Steeped in a history that embraces both its agricultural heritage and seafaring tradition, Norfolk proudly acknowledges that it likes to 'do different'. Within these pages you'll find some of the reasons why that's true. |
