A regular getaway for the likes of Stephen Fry, Amanda Holden and Naomi Watts, north Norfolk’s luxurious credentials make it a popular holiday destination for those who enjoy the finer things.

Head to north-west Norfolk for the unrivalled beauty of its sunset, experience rolling fields of lavender and poppies and see the Royal residence of Sandringham.

Prices: £12 adults, £10 seniors and £6 for children.

Keep up the royal theme by staying nearby at Heacham House.

Conceived by award-winning Hopkins Architects, who designed the Olympic Velodrome, the property has five bedrooms and large communal living spaces.
