Quarters Cottages are situated in the very heart of Norfolk. It's a peaceful area. Most attractions can be reached by car within 30 minutes of the property. Wells next the sea and Holkham are very popular and there are many national trust properties around to year we have the very first Norfolk day starting on July 27 with lots of events being held all around Norfolk. This year Norwich is featuring the GoGo Hares. This is a charity event and features fifty sculptures of Hares situated around the city. This is a fun way of seeing the sites of Norwich and has proved very popular in past years with children who can tick off the various decorated Hares on the trail.
