Aylsham is an excellent place to explore the rich North Norfolk Countryside and its pretty villages, take day trips to the coast at Cromer, dip into Norwich to experience its vibrant city lifestyle, or have a night out in one of its theatres or cinemas.
The whole family can enjoy plenty of activities during your self-catering holiday in north Norfolk. Take a walking treasure hunt around the town and surrounding countryside, or venture out to appreciate the East Coast countryside. Nearby family attractions include Strikers Ten Pin Bowling, Stompers Play Centre and Davenports Magic Kingdom in neighbouring North Walsham, where they can burn off their energy, ensuring they sleep like logs in their holiday cottage beds after that. A little further afield but still suitable for a half or a whole day trip are attractions such as The Redwings Horse Sanctuary (free entry), Bewilderwood (very popular with children) and The Amzona 'South American' Zoo in Cromer.
Walkers and nature lovers will enjoy exploring the Norfolk countryside using two long-distance footpaths, the Weaver's Way and Marriott's Way, which run through Aylsham. The Norfolk Wildlife Trust has several sites on the Broads, on heathland and at the coast. They are ideal for birdwatchers, nature lovers and walkers.
Visit the grand houses and stately homes such as Blickling Hall, a beautiful Jacobean House now managed by the National Trust where the ghost of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife, still walks. The Buckinghamshire Arms, a National Trust pub opposite the Hall, is run by the same team that manages The Blackboys Inn. Discover all that the Norfolk Broads has to offer by hiring a boat or canoe or just joining a boat trip to explore the historic waterways of The Broads.
Stay in Aylshamholiday homes for a week or a weekend any time of year with family or friends for a relaxing or action-packed holiday exploring this corner of Norfolk.
