Picture 1 Wisbech The church of St Peter & St Paul. Norman in origin. Traditionally it is said to have been founded in the year 1111 however the evidence tends to suggest a slightly later date, possibly somewhere around 1150. The church sat on a spit of land, sandwiched between the river estuary (the town was then on the southern edge of the Wash) and the Norman castle moat. More information Date: 13-09-2006 |

Picture 13, 14 and 15 The Snettishampark , between King's Lynn and Hunstanton, is a farm with the usual cattle but also a large deerfarm. A 45 minute safari shows you the farmland with flocks of sheep and deers. The tour brings you between the animals and you have a change to hand feet them. Of course the deers are used to that, so they surround the trailer when you arrive. Very nice country side to walk. The farm it self shows you a variaty of animals, including a very cocky lama. You can buy foot to feed the animals. Kind of a large children's farm. Our granddaughter loves it. Date: 08-11-2008 |
