NORFOLK & SUFFOLK’S TRANQUIL COAST With miles and miles of wide sandy beaches, unspoilt Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and some of the best nature reserves in the country (including Titchwell, Snettisham, Minsmere and Cley), it’s easy to see why artists and writers have flocked to the Norfolk and Suffolk coast for years. The coast is a place to do as much or as little as you like. Try your hand at windsurfing, sailing or kiting. The coastline is invigorating and with the wind in your hair and the sun on your face you’ll feel the adrenaline rush. Head out to Blakeney or Morston and hop into a boat to see the seals, dozens of them sunning themselves on the sand banks as happy as the day is long. What a great sight! Slow down to a gentler pace of life and remember what real living is all about.

The Visitor Attractions Quality Assurance Scheme
35
When looking for a place to visit,Visit Britain’s Visitor Attractions Quality Assurance Service can help. Participating attractions are visited annually by our trained impartial assessors. The assessor will sample all aspects of the ‘visitor experience’, from initial telephone enquiries to departure. They will use all facilities and sample activities such as guided tours, demonstrations, or film shows, as well as catering, retail and toilet facilities. This gives you the confidence that the attraction has been thoroughly checked before you plan your visit. Only those attractions that have been assessed by Visit Britain and meet standards receive the quality marque. Visitor Attractions Quality Assurance Service, [VAQAS] Quality Department, Visit England, Level 9, 1 Palace Street, Victoria, London SW1E 5HE
