1. BEACH.IT.UP. – My fingers are so very firmly crossed that the weather will at least be nice enough for a beach trip as we haven’t been for soooooo long! For a list of Norfolk beaches and what Mumbler parents say about them, have a look at the Beaches page.
2. Embrace the Big Outdoors
We are so lucky to have all the fantastic nature on our doorstep: Have a family at one of our many National Trust locations, explore the Rockpools with NWT West Runton, join in the activities at Holkham Estate or simply hit up one of the amazing local parks (check out our Parks & Playgrounds Post)
3. Woodland Walks
We put together a list of as many Woodland Walks as we could find…and we still missed some. If woodlands are your happy place, then take a little look and see if there’s a new one for you to make your way to over half-term. Let us know HERE if you find any hidden gems that we can add on!
4. Walk around Norwich
Why not have a wander around the city and grab a coffee at one of the independent shops? (or cake…I am partial to several things from Figbar!) If the children need to let off a bit of steam, there’s always Chapelfield Gardens for a run around or the park on top of Castle Quarter, where we have hosted our Mumbler Big Day in the City events in the past. Plus check out some of the free events from the Norfolk & Norwich festival happening around the city. running until May 26th.
There’s a great city walk from the north side of the city, by Nuffield Health Gym on Barrack Street. Walk past the gym on your left as if you are going in to the car park, and then walk past Birketts Solicitors, it a bit hidden, but you will then find Jarrolds bridge which spans the River Wensum. Cross over and go left. This takes you past some wonderful scenery, Cow Tower, Norwich Cathedral and through to Bishops Gate Bridge. From there, you can walk along the riverside even with a buggy, and watch all the boats and ducks.
Where do you love to go that’s FREE or LOW cost? Let us know HERE!
