Set in 250 acres of some of Norfolkâs finest countryside, in the beautiful River Yare valley, Barnham Broom Golf and Country Club overlooks the fairways of two championship 18-hole golf courses.
Holidaymakers at the Holiday Property Bond's 39 self-contained lodge apartments in the Club grounds enjoy a huge array of leisure facilities, including tennis and squash courts, an indoor swimming pool, steam room, spa and restaurants.
Barnham Broom lies ten miles west of Norwich, just off the A47 between Norwich and Dereham, and seven miles north of Wymondham. There are mainline rail services from London to Norwich and from Cambridge to Wymondham.

A car is not essential for Bondholders who are happy to enjoy the on-site facilities. But it is recommended for holidaymakers wishing to make the most of the opportunity to explore the many varied attractions of Norfolk.
One of England's most rural and least commercialised counties, Norfolk is also home to one of Britain's newest national parks. The Broads, famous for boating holidays, now reach from the coast almost into Norwich at the recently-created Whitlingham Country Park.
In strong contrast to the waterscape of The Broads, The Brecks (www.brecks.org) is a stunning open landscape of pines and heathland. Chalk streams, flowing through lush valleys, offset their drier surroundings and support rare insects in rich, spring-fed wetlands. It is one of the great natural spaces of Britain.
Much of Norfolk's 90 miles of coastline, stretching from the Wash round to Lowestoft, enjoys protection as a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are miles of wide, sandy beaches, coastal walks, nature reserves and plenty to attract lovers of wild life, from the vast numbers of resident and migratory birds attracted to the creeks and marshes between Brancaster and Cley-next-the-sea to the seal sanctuary at Blakeney Point, to which there are daily boat trips. Visitors can try their hands at windsurfing, sailing and kiting.
Immortalised through the paintings of John Constable, neighbouring Suffolk has its own particular appeal. More widely, the East Anglia region boasts scores of fascinating historical sites, ranging from Bronze Age hill forts and some of our best Roman remains in Colchester, Britain's first city, to half-timbered Elizabethan villages and the cathedral and castle at Norwich.
