If you are fond of birds, you will find a weekend Norfolk makes a perfect getaway. There are many places in the area designed for bird watchers, regardless of whether you want to see different species when you walk, or if you are a professional dart, keen on camping in bird's clothing with the whole kit.
For lovers of birds staying in hotels in North Norfolk, the Pensthorpe near Fakenham is a must-see. This wonderful place is dedicated to our feathered friends and over the past few years has also served as the basis for the BBC Springwatch program, organized by Chris Packham and co. The Pensthorpe Hotel is set in 50 acres of beautiful gardens. It offers all kinds of relaxing walks, as well as numerous bird skins and is the perfect place to explore nature.
This wildlife and nature management center, which last year was recognized as the best visitor to the parish in Norfolk, is also a breeding ground for all kinds of species, from Little Ringed Dam and Sandmartin to Marsh Harrier. Undoubtedly, Chris Pakchem and his team stayed in one of the luxury hotels in Norfolk, but there are also many other places in the area where you can organize a camp, from cheap B & Bs to pubs with rooms. And there is enough to offer for several days here, since the Pensthorpe also attracts Avocets, Redshank, Greenshank, Lapwings and Bittern, as well as all kinds of reeds.
Like many other wildlife parks and zoos in the area, Pensthorpe encourages its visitors to participate, and you can take in many birds, which is often the case for children, and if you stay with your family in a hotel in North Norfolk there are also many attractions in the area, from the beautiful seaside cities of Wells and Cromer to the dinosaur park near Hawking. Therefore, if you enjoy an interesting day or a long weekend break, put the binoculars in your bag and go to Pensthorpe in Fakenham.
