Cranmer is ideally placed for discovering the beautiful countryside, charming villages, and stunning coastline of North Norfolk.

The local area is a haven for nature lovers, with some of the UK’s most important wildlife sites nearby; Holkham National Nature Reserve and Cley Marshes Nature Reserve are both reached within 17.5 miles. The magnificent 18th-century stately home set within a beautiful parkland estate, Holkham Hall (6 miles), is well worth a visit.

Famous for its sandy beach, colourful beach huts and pine woodland walks, Wells-next-the-Sea, 9 miles away, is perfect for seaside walks and watching the sunset. Venture to the largest market town in Norfolk, Fakenham, 4 miles away, to explore its local boutiques and vintage shops.

Kick off your walking boots or beach shoes in the entryway before leading the way into the light and bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The high, vaulted ceiling adds a welcome sense of space and heritage, whilst delightful, homely touches set the scene for pure relaxation.

The contemporary country cottage-style kitchen is brimming with charm and character, boasting everything you need to whip up a family feast or perfect picnic with your delicious local produce. The plush sofas and quaint farmhouse-style dining set are perfectly placed for you to enjoy lovely views through the beautiful, glazed doors.

The glazed doors provide a good vantage point to observe the local wildlife; you might even spot glimpses of rabbits, hares, pheasant and partridge. Leading off the open-plan living space, you’ll find the peaceful twin bedroom that enjoys a soothing neutral colour palette and serene ambience.

Pensthorpe Nature Reserve & Gardens - NR21 0LN
about 4 Miles
if you and your family are interested in nature and wildlife then Pensthorpe Nature Reserve & Gardens is the perfect place for a day out. This beautiful area of national parkland is home to a huge range of common and rare birds from sparrows to Red Crowned Cranes and also has a red squirrel enclosure - part of a conservation programme and now home to a family of adorable squirrels. Other activities to enjoy at Pensthorpe include pond dipping and Landrover discovery tours. Pensthorpe also played host to BBC'S Springwatch in 2010.
Bishops Boats Seal Trips - NR23 1RY
about 10 Miles
This is a really unique attraction running daily seal watching trips from the middle of March right through to the end of October.  The experienced skippers will lead you out on one of the traditional wooden boats where you will have the chance to see both common and grey seals.  If you love animals then this is one attraction not to be missed! They also do some boat trips combined with guides on dry land such as seal watching combined with a visit to Blakeney Point Nature Reserve, owned by the National Trust.  We think this attraction is excellent value for money as they keep their admission prices low.
Sheringham Park - NR26 8TL
about 16 Miles
The National Trust Sheringham Park in Norfolk was designed by Humphry Repton and the book of original designs can still be seen. The park has many attractions including a viewing tower and a gazebo with amazing coastal views, wildlife trails which young children will love and an exhibition barn where visitors can learn the history of the park.
Dinosaur Adventure Park - NR9 5JW
about 17 Miles
This fun family day out has been well planned and we think is certainly worth a visit.  New for 2010 is the PrimEvil at Dinosaur Adventure.  Other fun activities include the Dinosaur Trail, Arachnophobia, the Raptor Races and the adventure play area.  The secret animal garden is also popular.  You can play a role in wildlife conservation and sponsor an animal if you wish.  At the moment if you sign up for their newsletter there is a chance to win a family ticket.
Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT
about 21 Miles
We love this attraction in Scoulton, Norfolk with a great collection of animals.  Children and adults alike have the chance to get hands on with the animals in the special handling areas.  On rainy days there is always the indoor play area for the little ones and when it's time for a bite to eat the cafe on the farm is open all day selling drinks and snacks.  Hot food is available over lunch times.
Natureland Seal Sanctuary - PE25 1DB
about 27 Miles
Awarded the Lincolnshire Family Attraction of the Year award in recent years this fun day out is recommended. You can see seals and penguins, as well as other animals in the popular pets corner.  Feeding time for the seals and penguins is the real highlight of the day. Entertainment, education and conservation are the main aims of this attraction. Natureland's work with abandoned baby seals has become known worldwide and it's carefully researched rearing and treatment program is now used by many other rescue centres.
Bewilderwood - NR12 8JW
about 29 Miles
Bewilderwood is a fun day out for the whole family located in the Wroxham area of Norfolk.  This imaginative adventure park has won awards and we think kids especially will love the characters and the magical tree houses. You can even book your ticket online and beat the queues by visiting their website where you can also view video clips of the park. This place is also the setting for the book 'A Boggle at BeWILDerwood', by local children's author Tom Blofeld.  Parents are not left out either as you're encouraged to take part and play alongside your children.
