Norfolk May 2013

A selection from our holiday in Norfolk, 11th to 18th May, staying in a cottage at Briston. We had taken the bikes so were able to cycle nearly every day - and always from the cottage. Some days were quite cold with a light shower but cycling on the country roads and lanes was virtually car free.

The '2 up 2 down' cottage we were staying in, very typical of all buildings in this area. The shed behind the car was a lockable bike shed!

                                                                  Tattershall Castle

                                              .....complete with Moat

               View from the top of the castle. As you can see, North Norfolk is quite flat.

                           This is one way to remember when you reroofed.

                                                    Weybourne Station

                                               ...complete with original toilet system.

      The North Norfolk Steam Railway leaving the Weybourne Station.(..good timing!)

                 There were some rather large churches for some rather small villages.
