Built around 1138 by William d'Aubigny II, Castle Rising is a beautiful ruined medieval fortification that has witnessed centuries of fascinating history: from hosting royals to functioning as a hunting lodge and even housing a mental patient. In the 14th Century, Queen Isabella lived in the castle after she participated in her husband Edward II's murder.

In 1544, the Howard family became guardians of the castle and they remain the current owners today.

You can visit the castle with its surrounding motte and impressive towers daily from 10am - 6pm (April to November) and 10am - 4pm Wednesday to Sunday in winter. Tickets for adults cost £4.50. You can find more information, here: castlerising.co.uk

Sandringham House and Gardens

Highlight • Settlement

A famous royal getaway, Sandringham House has served as a private home for royals since 1862 and remains the Queen's favourite country retreat. Surrounded by 20,000 acres of manicured gardens, green parks and woodlands, the beautiful estate has been open to the public since 1977. About the estate, George V once said "dear old Sandringham, the place I love better than anywhere else in the world." George V and VI both died in the house. It's easy to see why the place was so dear to them.

Hunstanton Striped Cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

A very popular tourist destination, Hunstanton offers a gently sloping beach with rock pools at the Northern end leading to Hunstanton’s famous red and white stripped cliffs, the unusual colours caused by sand and iron oxide and chalk.

As the only west facing resort on the east coast of England, it's one of the few spots you can watch the sunset across the sea.

There are two sides to Hunstanton, the elegant old Victorian town with its Esplanade Gardens and the lively traditional family holiday resort with amusements.
