Excellent river fishing and local lake fishing is also available (seasonal and licence required) and The Norfolk Broads Museum (seasonal opening) where you can discover the history of boating and The Broads all nearby.

This is also home to the Bure Valley Railway, a narrow steam gauge railway visiting the nearby village of Coltishall and the market town of Aylsham.
For quieter sandy beaches, take a trip to Waxham and Horsey, where wide sandy beaches back on to sand dunes. Closed to beachgoers between the months of November and January parts of Horsey Beach are protected whilst the large (numbering in the thousands) grey seal colony is in pupping season, Viewing areas above the beach provide a fantastic opportunity to see adults and pups up close. For great family fun days visit Bewilderwood, a tree-top adventure in Horning, Roarr Dinosaur Adventure at Lenwade, indoor soft play, slides, outdoor adventure and splash park and Wroxham Barns with a small petting farm and play park.
The historic city of Norwich, 15 miles, is definitely worth a visit, having two excellent indoor shopping malls, market square, cafés, restaurants, pubs, cathedral, theatres and castle museum.
