Sightseeing
On the doorstep of Field Cottage is The Broads National Park. Lakes, rivers, windmills and nature trails abound.
One of the best ways to learn about the Broads and to see the wildlife and flora is to go on the water itself.
We can recommend MV Lady Ann, based at Horsey, with Skipper Ross. He has a traditional wooden Broads boat for guided exploration tours. One hour trips.
You can hire canoes at Hickling & Stalham or use the nature trails and cycle paths that abound.

Norwich is an ancient city that deserves to be explored. Its only 12 miles to the park and ride which is the best way to explore it.
It has ancient medieval streets and buildings, a fantastic cathedral, arts centres and often has festivals and exhibitions. No trip to Norfolk should ever miss out on a day in Norwich.

Norfolk is one of the most important bird watching counties in the UK – and there’s plenty to see year-round. Field Cottage’s dunes are ideal to watch the migratory birds during the spring and autumn. Spring sees the departure of the winter wildfowl and waders and the arrival of the first birds from their wintering grounds in Africa. By mid-April, thousands of birds are pouring along the coast on their long journeys north.
In the summer, the Norfolk Little Turn project, is one of the largest protected breeding colonies in the UK and is managed by the RSPB. You can even volunteer to scare away the birds of prey, foxes and hedgehogs if you like!

The village and cliffs of Happisburgh have become famous in recent years as homes topple into the sea. We've even lost the lovely tea shop!
The cliffs are a site of special scientific interest and the oldest footprint in Europe was discovered here in 2014. Our ancient relative is thought to be 850,000 years old!
The dramatic erosion of the cliffs at Happisburgh over the last 20 years has led to “scouring” or the washing of sand and top soil from the beach revealing an ever increasing range of fossils and mammoth molar. These are regularly found along the whole beach from Happisburgh to Eccles because of coastal erosion.

East Ruston Gardens (3 miles from Field Cottage) was only started in 1973 and now justifiably can claim to be the finest display gardens in Norfolk.
The gardens, close to the North Sea have created their own micro climate to grow exotic and unusual plants from around the world.
The gardens contain an interesting collection of sculptures by local artists as well as many architectural features.
