East Anglia

Named after an ancient Anglo-Saxon kingdom, East Anglia has preserved much of its rural landscape, architecture and traditions.
The region covers the counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, meaning visitors can choose to visit the award-winning beach in Great Yarmouth, take a stroll around the grounds of Norfolk’s Holkham Hall or enjoy a class of wine by the river in Cambridge
