Rainy Days
It’s bounced around that Norfolk is one of the driest parts of the UK, but let’s not forget that we are still in the UK so we can only expect a bit of rain now and again… or in some cases again and again and again. Whether it’s a light shower or a complete downpour there is no need to let rain stop play. There are plenty of attractions to keep you occupied and dry.
