East Anglia
Suffolk and Norfolk
East Anglia is a region in eastern England comprising Norfolk, Suffolk, and parts of surrounding counties.
The area is known for its flat agricultural landscape, medieval wool churches, and the Norfolk Broads waterways.
We spent a week touring East Anglia.
The name survives from the Anglo-Saxon kingdom that once occupied the territory.
