Norfolk has wild countryside and coast, woodlands, salt marshes, rock pools, Broads and rivers that all make an excellent environment for wildlife throughout the year. Norfolk’s bird-watching opportunities are second to none, particularly for the Winter migrations that include geese and swans. Winter’s also the best time to see the seals in north Norfolk, when they pup, although any time of the year is good.

The Lavendar Farm In Norfolk & RSPB Nature Reserve
The lavender farm at Norfolk is the largest in the UK. It manufacturers many products of lavender including cosmetics to food mixed with lavender. My visit to the farm was towards the latter end of the farming season.
But there are so many things to enjoy and watch in the surroundings. The lavender gift shop was my port of call as lavender is one of my favourite fragrances. The adjoining farm shop called Walsingham had a wide array of local farm products ranging from vegetables, fruits and frozen foods.The former lavender machinary and the old mill house can also be seen. All in all it was a visit well worth making.
The Titchwell RSBP is another lovely place to visit. Here we spotted many birds even though it was a bit difficult to film but thoroughly enjoyed the nature walk and the bird calls.
