4 RURAL ESCAPE<br />
Time and space<br />
to unwind<br />
Escape to <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>, a<br />
magical mix of unspoilt coastline,<br />
idyllic rural landscapes and open<br />
space, where you can truly relax,<br />
unwind and slow down to a<br />
better pace of life.<br />
So easy to get to, yet so relaxing, <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> is the ideal<br />
destination for a holiday or short break. Spring and autumn,<br />
winter or summer, this special landscape provides so much<br />
opportunity to slow down and cherish the wonderful<br />
environment, wildlife and heritage. The stunning coastline,<br />
much of it an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, is well<br />
known for its vast stretches of soft sandy beaches, great for<br />
lazy summer days, but also fantastic for invigorating<br />
winter walks.<br />
Perhaps less known but just as magical are the vast areas<br />
of wonderful rolling countryside, full of fascinating and<br />
attractive villages, where cottages of flint or <strong>Norfolk</strong> carrstone<br />
cluster around ancient village ponds or village greens. This<br />
magical landscape, dotted with church spires and windmills is<br />
a wonderful tapestry of rural England at its best.<br />
To the south of King’s Lynn, the ancient town of Downham<br />
Market is a gateway to the mysterious and magical Fens,<br />
where the sheer sense of space, vast skies, wildlife and total<br />
tranquillity are not to be missed.<br />
<strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> gives you time to explore and enjoy some<br />
truly fine landscapes at your own pace.<br />
Why not take the opportunity to<br />
• Bring your binoculars – the wildlife is fantastic.<br />
• Laze out on the beach or invigorate your senses on the<br />
wide open coast.<br />
• Stroll along tranquil waterways.<br />
• Explore charming unspoilt villages.<br />
• Escape from the car – hop on the Coasthopper bus<br />
to explore the beautiful coastline.<br />
