East Anglia
Despite being one of England's most accessible regions, East Anglia is in some ways also one of its least-known: Norfolk and Suffolk are both very rural, Cambridgeshire is not surprisingly all about Cambridge and Essex has a thoroughly undeserved reputation as little more than an extension of northeast London. In fact, there's so much to see in East Anglia it's hard to know where to start – from the glories of the North Norfolk Coast to the historic wool towns of Suffolk, the region has so much to recommend it. Because it’s so flat East Anglia is ideal for cycling with National Cycle Route one passing through it. As England's historic heartland, it's also home to some of the best pubs and inns in the country, and boasts some great boutique hotels and B&Bs, as well as being home to an array of country cottages that would adorn any picture postcard.
