Why go to the East Anglia?

Historically East Anglia comprised the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk but more recently Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Hertfordshire have been classified in the same region, adding to the richness that this area has to offer. With its wonderful scenery, beautiful beaches and variety of things to do - from boating on the Norfolk Broads to touring the ancient Cambridge colleges - there's something for everyone to enjoy. Family attractions include the sandy beaches that run for miles along the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts, historic castles and houses, and animal and bird sanctuaries. The further east you travel, the further back in time you seem to step, as traffic queues melt away and the country air becomes cleaner.
