East Anglia is famous for its gently undulating countryside and idyllic coastline. Whether you want to explore a peaceful stretch of sand and shingle shore, wander along a Victorian pier, sail through the Norfolk Broads, or hike through fields, wetlands and woods, self-catering holidays in East Anglia have plenty to offer. Inland, the countryside of East Anglia consists primarily of flat fields, woodland, wetlands, and the meandering waterways of the Norfolk Broads.
