Whitlingham Country Park


Went for a drive this morning up the road to Whitlingham (very close to Norwich city centre actually) ... this is a nice place to go for a stroll, picnic, boat ride or whatever. It's run by the Council and only costs parking fee. There's a cafe/restaurant where you can get food but we took along some snacks and drinks. 

We saw loads of people walking dogs, or jogging/running around the Broads.  It's so safe and such a pleasure to take the kiddies somewhere out in the fresh air, so close to home, for free.   

HISTORY LESSON:
Once part of the Crown Point Estate owned by the famous Colman family (Colman's Mustard), the site features the ruin of a monk's manor house, ancient chalk workings and evidence of Palaeolithic and Neolithic flint-knapping.

'Scuse the little video, I'm not going to bother taking videos anymore, they are a waste of time.
