The Norfolk Broads:

A bit further afield, but definitely worth the trip! Norfolk is possibly most famous for the man-made Broads, a National Park with over 125 miles of navigable lock-free waterways set in beautiful countryside and studded with charming and picturesque towns and villages. Loads of options to hire a boat for the day or go on a sightseeing guided tour, you can cruise the waterways and enjoy the scenery and wildlife that surrounds you. Dogs welcome too.
