Found within one of the most beautiful country estates in East Anglia, the Natural Surroundings Wildlife, Wildflower and Conservation Centre is a wonderful visitor attraction for those that enjoy getting out and about and a little bit closer to nature.
Explore acres of natural habitats, including the Wildlife Gardens (perhaps pick up tips on attracting wildlife in your own garden?), discover the rich variety of aquatic life in the Wildlife Ponds and enjoy the natural beauty and aromas of the Wild Flower Meadows.
One of the most fantastic and unique aspects is that you can see flora and fauna at Natural Surroundings that you may otherwise never see in the wild. These include a Red Squirrel breeding enclosure and Harvest Mice Release Program.
Natural Surroundings has a rather lovely Tea Room, complete with window feeders and nest box cameras, offering an intimate view of birds going about their daily business (as well as a naughty Grey Squirrel that you may spot taking advantage of the free bird food!), a Wildlife and Eco Gardening Shop (in case you’ve been inspired by your visit) and a Wild Flower Nursery (with hundreds of plants for sale).
Winner of the North Norfolk District Council Environmental Business of the Year Award in 2007, Natural Surroundings is a superb example of a forward-looking, eco-conscious venture, inspired by a team of people who really care for wildlife.
If you like Natural Surroundings, don’t forget to also visit associated Wildlife Shop Bird Ventures.
