Newmarket & Forest Heath
Newmarket is an attractive, bustling market town, situated within the area of Forest Heath. It is the best known of the towns and villages that make up this district, which lies within Suffolk, snuggled in between Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.

Newmarket is internationally recognised as the 'Home of Horseracing'. In the town centre you will find training yards accommodating over 2400 horses, horse walks, an equine swimming pool, and Tattersalls Thoroughbred Auctioneers, where horses exchange hands for vast sums of money. Arrive in Newmarket early in the morning to witness the horses out exercising on the gallops. For a unique experience combine this with a visit to the National Horseracing Museum, the National Stud, or an afternoon at the races at either of Newmarket's two courses, both situated within close proximity to the town.

There are plenty of other possibilities for days out in the Forest Heath area. Close to major road links, you are ensured easy access to the rest of the area and attractions such as Anglesey Abbey, Audley End House, or Mildenhall Museum, which has a replica of the Mildenhall treasure, a hoard of 34 pieces of Roman silverware. There are numerous opportunities for walking & cycling. Visits to either Brandon Country Park, or Thetford Forest, Britain's largest lowland pine forest guarantee great days out for all the family.

Hardwick Bridge Park

King's Lynn
King’s Lynn is more than just a medieval port. The town is now a treasure trove for history lovers with narrow streets and handsome merchant houses in the old town, the only surviving Hanseatic warehouse in the country and plenty of fascinating visitor attractions to help bring the olden days alive.

When you tire of the history, take a stroll round The Walks, our impressive parkland where you can feed the ducks, enjoy a picnic or listen to the music drifting over from the Victorian bandstand. Down by the river, you can take a ferry over to the west bank and take in the outstanding view of King’s Lynn’s townscape.

Arts lovers won’t be disappointed either. We’ve got two great venues offering music, dance and drama, modern art galleries and exhibition rooms, a Victorian-style cinema and the renowned King’s Lynn Festival, which celebrates a whole host of arts events around the town, and Festival Too with it’s popular free outdoor concerts.

When all this activity tires you out, you’ll need somewhere to eat and drink – and there’s plenty in King’s Lynn - you’re bound to find something that takes your fancy. And once you feel revived and refreshed, take in a show at one of the town’s two theatres, or a trip into the countryside to a welcoming village pub.
