East of England

From the beautiful North Norfolk Coast with its abundance of wildlife to the magnificent houses and gardens of Blickling, Felbrigg and Oxburgh Hall, Norfolk's popularity is well deserved. And don't miss the chance to wander around Sheringham Park or begin your exploration of the Norfolk Broads.

Not far from Cambridge you'll find Anglesey Abbey, where the gardens boast colour throughout the year. Head a little further afield and you'll discover Wimpole with its impressive mansion and Home Farm. But no visit would be complete without escaping to the distinctive fenland landscape of Wicken Fen or seeing one of the last working mills on the River Ouse.

The question about Suffolk, is where will you visit first? From a landscape made famous by John Constable to the royal burial ground at Sutton Hoo. Enjoy a walk along the iconic Suffolk coastline and around picturesque wool towns, such as Lavenham and Long Melford. And don't miss the chance to discover what life was like above and below stairs at Ickworth.

There's more to Essex than first meets the eye. Tucked away you'll find lots of hidden gems, from Bourne Mill in Colchester to Paycocke's, a stunning Tudor merchant's house in Coggeshall. Hatfield Forest, which was once a royal hunting forest is today a great place for walks, as is Blake's Wood, Danbury Common and Copt Hall.

We don't only look after stunning places for you to visit for the day, we also look after some hidden gems, perfect for your next holiday, romantic break or group getaway!
