1: Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park. No visit to the county is complete without a thrill seeking adventure through the rides of Pleasurewood Hills. Log Flume fun starts with the Timber Falls - and if that's not enough why not dry off with a spin on the Wipeout: one of the biggest, baddest rollercoasters in the UK?
2: Pensthorpe Nature Reserve. Owners of holiday homes in Norfolk will love the fabulous Pensthorpe Nature Reserve Park and Gardens. There are beautifully landscaped and arranged geographical gardens; a habitat specific Wildlife Habitat Garden; and even a traditionally managed flood plain (the Wildflower Meadow). Pensthorpe Nature Reserve is an internationally recognised breeding area for all sorts of rare and beautiful birds including the Ringed Plover and the Marsh Harrier.
3: Colman's Mustard Shop and Museum. When it rains, there's tons of stuff to do in and around Norfolk: and the owners of holiday homes in the area would do well to check out this fiery little treat! The Colman's company has been making mustard in Norwich for 200 years, and its museum is more than just a quirky tribute to the yellow condiment the British love so much. It's a two century journey through the industrial and social history of the whole area, culminating in the fantastic Mustard Shop - where you can buy retro tins of Colman's to grace your dinner table back at the caravan!
4: BeWILDerwood. Funky by name, fun by nature, BeWILDerwood is the ultimate day out for families!

5: Sandringham. Her Majesty the Queen knows a thing or two about heritage gardens. Sandringham is the jewel in Norfolk's crown, an imposing, glorious 60 acres of lakes, dells, glades, topiary and designed garden areas. The House alone is worth the admission price, showing a different exhibition in its Ballroom every year, which rotates through private collections not normally seen by visitors.
In addition to the 60 acres of planned and planted Gardens (including the North Garden; the Stream Walk; and Queen Alexandra's Summerhouse), visitors are welcome to ramble in the 600 acres of Sandringham Country Park. Imposing, breathtaking, and worth at least one full day's visit.
