Discovering East England: April 2013

http://ftc-travel.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Tasty Victorian treats at the seaside. The Victorian tea room can be found directly in the middle of Great Yarmouth's Marine Parade, just opposite of the golden, sandy beach, not far from the pedestrian zone and in between a myriad of "entertainment venues" - which are nothing else but gambling halls - slap bang in the middle of everything. Drinks include a variety of teas, coffees, soft drinks and then there is some ice-cream. Last but not least you will find fresh scones with cream, butter and a wonder...

Discovering East England: Bewilderwood

http://ftc-travel.blogspot.com/2008/04/bewilderwood.html

Is a fairly new theme park near Wroxham. Norfolk. We went there after seeing an advert in a brochure and had no clue what was awaiting us, all we knew was, that a "Curious Treehouse Adventure" was waiting for us. Apart from the steep entry prices a great place to spend a day. For info on accommodation and more attractions in the area click here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A trusted friend on our journey is trivago. Mummy of two little girls, always keen on finding new places, loves to explore th...

Discovering East England: Grime's Graves

http://ftc-travel.blogspot.com/2008/04/grimes-graves.html

Asked my husband as soon as he got out of the car and had a look around. "Looks like a Swiss Cheese! And right he was, the pockmarked landscape at Grime's Graves. Really resembles an Emmental cheese with all those holes in the ground. Century that one of these holes was excavated and people realised what they really were – flint mines that date back to the Neolithic Age. And to see an old mineshaft he wasn't very amused. "You've just got to be kidding! Next to the small reception/shop is a museum room wi...

Discovering East England: Thaxted

http://ftc-travel.blogspot.com/2008/04/thaxted.html

Must be one of the most picturesque villages in Essex. At least it is in my opinion - ever since I've ended here by incident when I was looking for a shortcut to our new home not long after we've moved in a town nearby. Thaxted has already been mentioned in the Doomsday book of 1086 and there are still enough very buildings in the town to prove that is indeed a very old settlement. Was built from 1340 to 1510 and features a 181 ft high spire that can be seen from miles away. The church is so grand an...

Discovering East England: Norfolk Beaches

http://ftc-travel.blogspot.com/2008/04/norfolk-beaches.html

I've lived in Cyprus for several years and the last thing I expected to be impressed by after moving to England were the beaches. In spring 2007 we've made our first trip to Norfolk and were so impressed by its beauty that we keep on going back. We - that is me, my husband and our two little daughters. The first beach we've visited was Great Yarmouth. I'd seen it on photos before and knew that it was long and and wide but didn't quite it expect it to be that large. Forget about the pebbles at Brighton.
