    I'm from Norfolk, wish I still lived there! Cley next the sea is my favourite village, lovely windmill and the best deli in the world. Burnham Market and Holt are nice little towns, slightly inland and Burnham Deepdale has lovely coastal marsh walks. Holkham is the best beach, it's just along from Wells and Holkham hall is beautiful. There is a lovely boat trip from Blakeney to sea the seals on the sand spit, they seem to be there all year round. Norwich is a great city, love the Elm Hill area, the castle museum, cathedral and strangers hall museum. Pleasurewood Hills is a lovely little theme park that has barely changed since I was a child! I have a soft spot for Great Yarmouth, the hippodrome building, pirate's cove golf and the wooden coaster. They have a great street performance/art annual festival in September along the seafront and in the parks.

    • @OurTravelPlace
      @OurTravelPlace  Před 3 lety

      The Elm Hill area of Norwich was so pretty, I can see why you love it! I will have to look up Pleasurewood Hills - we love theme parks (we have quite a lot of theme park videos on our channel!). Aaron loved the hippodrome building too - there seems to be some really nice architecture pocketed around Great Yarmouth. We did want to go on the wooden coaster but you had to pay for half a day entrance rather than paying for ride (at least at the moment you do ... I'm not sure if that's just for social distancing or if it usually works that way) so we gave it a miss. We will have to remember Cley Next The Sea for next time! We did originally plan to walk from Wells to Holkham but got too distracted at Wells and decided not to... I wish we had done now! Have you done that walk? We were impressed with the beaches we visited anyway so now I am even more curious about Holkham 🙂 Maybe one day you can live in Norfolk again if you want to! I can definitely see the appeal now that we have been. Thanks a lot for watching and for your thoughtful reply!

    What a beautiful video! It was very nostalgic seeing Wells-Next-to-the-Sea and Great Yarmouth, as both were places I would visit as a child during the school holidays. I'm sure you've already been told this, but Cromer is a beautiful seaside town, as is Sheringham. I totally recommend walking across the salt marshes around Wells and Stiffkey, it is very picturesque and has a lot of wildlife. I would also recommend visiting the Norfolk coast around the New Year to see the seal pups. They are lovely as long as you keep a respectful distance of course.
    Overall, very beautiful video! Made me appreciate my home a lot more.

    • @OurTravelPlace
      @OurTravelPlace  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks a lot for your recommendations! We have heard great things about Cromer and Sheringham, and walking across the salt marshes sounds like something we would enjoy.

      I think that could be the route we took from Hunstanton to Wells-Next-The-Sea (or at least we drove part of it?). Either way the drive to Wells was beautiful! A few people have mentioned Cromer as somewhere to visit. Thanks for watching and commenting!

  • @DavidStruveDesigns
    @DavidStruveDesigns Před 2 lety +3

    I absolutely LOVE your videos! They really do showcase the best my country has to offer - as a resident of this country it's often easy to forget just how pretty my country is and how many unique and gorgeous locations it has to visit. One tends to take things like this for granted so it's nice to see an outside perspective to really get you to appreciate it again :)
    One little tip I'd give is this - if you're going to put music on as a background to your videos, it would be nice to either list the songs you used in the description, or maybe as part of the overlay text as the song starts - for those of us who find the song catchy and enjoyable. Saves someone like me getting frustrated over not being able to tell what the song is, or not knowing the title of the song and it means we can then go and find the song for ourselves instead of bugging you in the comments section asking "hey what's the song at *enter timestamp here*?". Good example and genuine question: What's the background song that starts up at 8:40 ??

    • @OurTravelPlace
      @OurTravelPlace  Před 2 lety

      Thanks so much for your lovely comment! I agree, it's too easy to overlook your own country. I think the last couple of years of not going abroad have really helped us appreciate how beautiful the UK is (we aren't really an outside perspective for the UK as we're from England too, but Norfolk was a new part of the country for us and we certainly hadn't realised how nice it was until we visited for the first time in 2020!). Thank you for your tip on the music. It's funny, I have considered adding that information to the description a couple of times but didn't think people would be interested... clearly, I was wrong! I think I'm going to start adding that in the descriptions going forward (although, FYI, questions in the comments section are welcome!). The song you are asking about is Dancing with the Devil by Bonkers Beat Club. All our music comes from epidemic sound so you might hear some of the songs on other people's videos too, as Epidemic Sound is a really popular platform for music for youtube videos! Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

    I remember having a family members birthday on a Sunday booked a boat on the Norfolk broads in Wroxham however you spell it and went to this pub place and had a lovely carvery (night not be cheap but worth it) first time we got small boat 2nd time on the birthday we had a yacht and saw people practicing like canoeing thing so friendly on the broads waving people slowing down to say hello wishing happy b day etc love the peeps at sunny hunny aswell especially if you see the school kids in that lovely uniform (secondary school) if you go on a weekday

    My brother and I did a walk along the amazing beach from Holkham to Wells Next the sea but the beach to town bit we took the little narrow gauge train as we were tuckered out by then. Had two Broads holiday in cruisers. And we're always digging out the railcards and taking a trip to the amazing city of Norwich. We live just a little way north of London so it's easy to get there via Cambridge. Everywhere you went we have memories of. Loved the video. You should have a look at Thetford if you ever go that way again. Lots of historic sites and also the location for Dad's Army.

    • @OurTravelPlace
      @OurTravelPlace  Před 2 lety

    Great video, I lived in Norfolk as a baby in the early 70's and then moved to Norwich when I was maybe 7-8 years old til my late teens in the late 80's when I immigrated to America for a few years and then to New Zealand where I was born, I'm nearly 50 years old now and my heart still yerns to be back in Norwich, New Zealand is beautiful and is my home, but has very little history, any chance I get I always tell people to go to Norfolk if they are going on holiday to England, I'm always showing my children where dad grew up and I am proud to do so, I cycled around Norwich and surrounding areas into every nook and crany and walked the streets of this great city

      It's such a beautiful part of the country, I can't believe we never realised that until last year! Definitely overlooked, especially compared to places like Cornwall and Devon. I think my favourite part was bobbing around the broads on a boat, but the beaches were so pretty (and the seals were a great bonus!). Thanks a lot for your recommendation of the Breckland area, I'll give it a google. We would very happily go back to Norfolk again to see more! Thanks for watching 🙂

    Hey guys, this was a fantastic video!! We love that Hunstanton is referred to as Sunny Hunny, that's so cool. Wells by the Sea looked gorgeous, both the beach and the town and wow, the view from that pub garden, perfect!
    The lodge you stated at looked really nice, and a hot tub too? Awesome! Really loved the clip with those cute seals, how amazing to see them chilling on the beach!
    We have to say bravo to the great mooring skills 👌 I think we'd make a right hash of it 😂. And let's just take a moment to appreciate the ice cream boat!! The is the best thing!
    The last time we went to Norfolk was years ago and we only went to Great Yarmouth really, so it ls great to see what beautiful places there are to visit, although you could make an entire holiday out of playing all 700 mini golf courses 😂
    Wonderful video guys, really enjoyed it, superbly filmed and edited and super informative!!

    • @OurTravelPlace
      @OurTravelPlace  Před 3 lety

      Staying somewhere with a private hot tub has always been on my wish list and so we finally decided to treat ourselves to one since we wouldn't be going out anywhere in the evenings on this holiday (for obvious reasons!). It was SO worth it, we sat it in every night!
      Aaron deserves all the credit when it comes to the mooring - I would have made a hash of it too 😂
      Thanks so much for the nice comment! Super informative is what we aim for so happy you thought we achieved it 😄

I really enjoyed the detail in all this I was hoping you would have visited HEMSBY near Great Yarmouth we used to stay in that VILLAGE every August for a month in a Chalet/Bungalow by the sea and I remember watching the FILM JAIL HOUSE ROCK with ELVIS PRESLEY in the VILLAGE HALL and everyone was stamping their feet on the wooden floor to the great Music. I was about 12 years old and am now 76, very Happy Memories of HEMSBY and the BROADS and many of the other places in your excellent video. Thank you.

    The pirates defeated.
    AFTER FLOURISHING FOR 5,000 years, organized piracy and privateering finally ended in the 19th century. When the century began, privateers were still a dangerous nuisance - yet the navies of big maritime powers no longer needed the help of privately owned warships.
    So in 1856 most maritime nations signed a treaty, the Declaration of Paris, banning letters of marque.
    New Technology also helped to end piracy. The 19th century was the age of steam power, and the British and U.S. navies built steam ships that could sail almost anywhere, even on a windless day.
    Pirates, who still relied on sail, were easily trapped by the streamers. By 1850 only small pirate bands were left.

      I think most of it is accessible by public transport. There is a coastal bus that is good for visiting different places along the Norfolk coast (like Wells-Next-The-Sea). I don't think Horsey (where we saw the seals) is accessible by public transport unfortunately, although if you want to see seals Blakeney is supposed to be a good spot for it and I think the coastal bus goes there. As for the Broads, obviously Norwich has a train station and I believe there are stations around the broads, depending on which area you want to visit. I am pretty sure Wroxham (where we hired our day boat) does. So yes, I'm sure you will be able to pull an itinerary together without a car! 🙂

    NEVER A FIGURE OF FUN.
    The British Navy took strong action against Malaysian and Indonesian pirates suspected of damaging trade. A colourful pantomime figurehead once decorated the bows of HMS Harlequin, a British navy sloop involved in anti - piracy action. In 1844, the Harlequin and two other ships sailed from Penang on a mission to punish pirates from Achin in north Sumatra. The captains of this little fleet could not identify the pirates they seeking, so they indiscriminately burned down riverside houses.
