There are several impressive historical stately homes to explore. These houses arose from a past of prosperous landowners and rich proceeds from trade with the continent in goods like wool. Many fine buildings, stately homes and churches were built in this era, and can still be explored today.

If you're looking for a thrilling day out, jump over to Fakenham Racecourse, the only national hunt racecourse in Norfolk. Having run for over 100 years, it is a popular day out and an exciting experience. It can be a family affair as children aged 17 and under are admitted free (must be accompanied by an adult) and there are often family fun days. A firm favourite in the social diary is Ladies' Day. There are several fixtures throughout the year including Easter, Christmas and the New Year period.
