Breckland is situated in the heart of Norfolk. There's so much to do in Breckland, such as visiting parks and gardens, or enjoying the tranquillity of the countryside. Some of the brilliant places to visit in Breckland are:

Bradenham Hall Gardens and Arboretum- Altogether the Arboretum and Gardens are 27 acres. Bradenham Hall Gardens and Arboretum are extremely popular and can be seen in magazines, such as "House and Garden". The gardens can only be visited on certain dates; however appointments can also be made to view the gardens.

Grimes Graves- this Neolithic mine is unique, as it is the only flint mine of its kind open for visiting in Britain. Grimes Graves has plenty of history behind it, there's so much to find out. Grimes Graves can be exciting and educational, perfect place to visit with the kids. The opening times vary throughout the year. The entrance fee is, adults: £3.00, Kids: £1.50, Concession: £2.60, Family Ticket: £7.50. Groups of 11 and upwards can receive a 15% discount.

I highly recommend each of these places to visit for a day out, whether it is with family or friends. Each of these places has something unique and is definitely worth a visit. Each location is easy to get to, and the public transport surrounding the areas is usually good. Each of the places above will surely provide you with a fun filled day as well as a memorable experience.
