Memorial Park

Memorial Park sits on the edge of North Walsham in Norfolk, a proper slice of Norfolk countryside that rewards a quiet afternoon. It's a nature reserve rather than a manicured park, so expect scrubby heathland, reed beds, and the kind of walking paths that feel genuinely wild for East Anglia. Birdwatchers love it - you'll spot marsh harriers and various raptors if you're patient, though honestly most visitors just amble the trails and enjoy being away from the coast-bound crowds.

This is one for walkers and nature enthusiasts rather than those after playground thrills. The paths wind through rough grassland and wetland areas, and it's the sort of place where you can actually hear yourself think. You could do it in an hour or stretch it to two if you're keen on stopping to identify plants or wait for birds. Free entry, as far as I can tell, and open access - no gates, no faffing about.

If you're basing yourself at Two Mills Touring Park just under a mile away, or any of the caravan parks dotted around within five miles, Memorial Park makes a sensible morning walk before heading elsewhere. It doesn't dominate a day, but it's a solid addition to a Norfolk holiday if you're into that quieter, slower thing. Not Instagram gold, but genuinely pleasant.
