Jane and Paul's top ten:

1. Seal trip to Blakeney point

2. Fish'n'chips on Wells' quay (Frenchs are excellent) followed by a long walk on the beach

3. Picnic at Holkham Hall by the lake with the numerous deer looking on

4. Browsing around the village of Burnham Market (the hat shop is amazing)

5. Fresh crab sandwiches on Blakeney quay

6. Day out at Sandringham

7. Drive through the villages, particularly in the summer with the fields of poppies and lavender

8. Walsingham - a unique and really interesting experience

9. Savouring local seafood at one of the numerous excellent pubs and restaurants

10. Holt - with a stop for a cream tea at Byfords

(11. Stody Estate is only open at weekends in May but is an absolute must)

Sam and Annabelle's Top Ten:

1. Seal trip to Blakeney Point

2. Beaches at Holkham, Brancaster and Wells-next-the-sea

3. Splash Leisure Centre water park in Sheringham

4. Having fish'n'chips picnic - anywhere will do!

5. Hill Top Outdoor Centre

6. Eating mussels in the Hoste Arms (in Burnham Market)

7. Walking and cycling through the little lanes near The Firs and spotting all the animals

8. Muckleburgh Collection

9. Eating at The Kings Head in Letheringsett**

10. Swimming with Maisie (our labrador) in the sea

You may have noticed a common theme with the two lists - yes eating in North Norfolk is excellent!!

**This is a really fantastic family pub run by a very friendly family. Annabelle has a nut allergy and this is by far the best pub we have ever visited for menu choice for her. They are extremely well informed and nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is home cooked and absolutely first rate. They have been voted family pub of the year in the past - a really well deserved award. The garden is a children's heaven.
