East Anglia
From half-timbered homes to stately Gothic Cathedrals, across
shimmering fens and through lakes and rivers, the East of England
is broad and varied, promising something for everyone. The
university town of Cambridge boasts exquisite architecture and a
deep heritage, while boat trips through the broads will reveal
large sections of unspoilt countryside teeming with wildlife. In
the ancient towns of Ely and Lincoln are magnificent Cathedrals,
and King's College Chapel in Cambridge is probably the finest
example of Gothic architecture in Europe. In rural Norfolk visitors
can discover some of the country's finest stately homes such as
Bickling and Holkham Hall.
While devoid of any giant metropolis, a holiday in East Anglia
is the perfect opportunity to explore the quaint corners of smaller
towns and villages; or pursue outdoor activities like horseback
riding, hiking, sailing, quad biking, and bird watching.
