Frolics this Half Term with Barnes Brinkcraft Holiday Cottages on the Norfolk Broads
Are you ready for a February half term filled with chuckles, charm, and a touch of the unexpected? Barnes Brinkcraft’s delightful holiday homes along the River offer not just a stay but a playful adventure into the heart of the Norfolk Broads, as each cottage comes with a day boat for exciting expeditions on the Broads.
Set Sail for Adventure (and Maybe a Kingfisher or Two)
Our holiday homes in Wroxham aren’t just houses; they’re your personal launchpads to aquatic escapades! Each comes equipped with its own dayboat, perfect for playing captain and crew as you navigate the serene waters. Venture under Wroxham Bridge towards Colitishall Green. Don’t forget to grab a bite at The Rising Sun Coltishall– because even intrepid explorers need a good feed! And keep those eyes peeled for Kingfishers; they’re fast, feisty, and fabulously photogenic (if you’re quick enough!).
What’s On this February Half Term on the Norfolk Broads
Under 12s: Unleash Your Wild Side!
For the little ones (and the young at heart), a jaunt to Wroxham Barns to witness the adorable lambing season is a must – it’s baa-rilliant! Or, swing by BeWILDerwood for treetop adventures that are sure to knock your socks off (figuratively speaking, of course – please keep your socks on).
For Rainy Day Rebels
If the weather decides to be a party pooper, fear not! Norwich is your indoor haven. Embark on a historical (and free!) escapade with a tour around Norwich Cathedral, a building so old, it makes your grandparents look like teenagers. Stroll through Elm Hill, where the cobbled streets whisper tales of yore (and make for great Instagram posts). And into Norwich Market for a lunchtime feast foraging food from around the world
Alternatively, dive underground at the Radar Museum– because who doesn’t like a bit of cold war subterranean intrigue?
Art lovers, don’t miss hugging a sculpture (yes, really) at the Sainsbury Centre, and if the sun peeks through, their park is a wonderland waiting to be explored.
Nature Calls (and It’s Not Just for a Chat)
Visit the Redwings Horse Sanctuary for some equine affection, or catch the tail-end of seal pupping season at Horsey Seals. And let’s not forget the all-important hot chocolate at Dunes Café – it’s like a hug in a mug!
Get Moving and Grooving
Feel the wind in your hair with Bure Valley Cycle Hire– just remember, pedalling backwards won’t take you back in time. For those who fancy a bit of ornithology (that’s bird watching, folks), the Hickling Broad is your go-to spot.
Starlit Evenings
Pop down to Salhouse broad and jump on their dark skys viewing platform or take part in their ticketed stargazing event
