The fifth of Cv's English County Guides Norfolk is characterised by the breadth and variation of its countryside: known for its arched skies and expansive landscape. In a series of journeys that criss-crossed the county, author Nicholas James recorded over one hundred villages and market towns, ranging from Cromer to Hunstanton on the 'Norfolk Riviera', to the King's Lynn by 'The Wash'. He also visited Wroxham and Hoveton, centre of the Broads, and many lesser known hamlets nestling deep in this fascinating and historic part of East England. Further information is provided by local specialists: Malcolm Carter gives the story of Norwich Cathedral; and Joy, the official guide to Nelson's birthplace at Burnham Thorpe.
