History & heritage in East Anglia

Suffolk and Norfolk offer an easy way to step through centuries, with Roman roots, Norman strongholds and Tudor-era homes threaded through the landscape. Explore historic towns and villages, visit heritage sites of national importance and hear the local details that bring timelines to life, often with guides who know the area inside out.

There’s plenty for families too, including living history events, demonstrations and hands-on activities that make the past feel tangible. Many outdoor heritage sites welcome dogs on leads, making it simple to combine a visit with fresh air and a walk.
