National & Regional Round-up
East of England
DISCOVER THE UNEXPECTED PLEASURES AND TREASURES OF THE EAST OF ENGLAND
Beautiful half-timbered villages, bustling market towns, rolling land- scapes and impressive coastlines, all on London's doorstep.
Incorporating the ancient kingdom of East Anglia, East of England covers the six counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk - a region where tradition is a way of life and people take the time to offer warm welcomes.
Visit Cambridge with its world famous university and breath-taking architecture. Don't miss Colchester - Britain's oldest recorded town or St. Albans’ historic remains of Roman city of Verulamium. Travel to Bedfordshire renowned for its aviation heritage and adrenalin sports. Be inspired by the vast Norman keep at Norwich Castle, now a fantastic museum.
The Broads offer over 125 miles of navigable waterways and wildlife lovers can discover numerous nature reserves. Cyclists of all abilities will enjoy touring quiet country lanes, quaint villages and country pubs.
Sedate Victorian seaside resorts sit alongside fishing harbours and oyster creeks with historic Smugglers' inns
nestled close to the waters. Inland explore landscapes which inspired the famed English painters, Constable and Gainsborough, picturesque medieval villages and Georgian towns.
In the East of England there is plenty of family fun from steam railways and rich aviation heritage to wildlife parks, and accommodation to suit every style and budget. Whatever your interest, you’ll find something to fascinate you in this unspoilt and very special corner of England.
