A report: Fellbrigg and Blakeney National Trust by UEA DOS
The trip was started at 9.30am when most of the students were still cuddling under their blankets. We had an hour bus trip from UEA to the country side of Norfolk, UK. There was a wide green grass landscape around me. I enjoyed what I saw from the window. My mind ran far from the campus atmosphere for a while.
We arrived at the National Trust site, a natural protected area, in the north-east of Norwich city. The flocks of sheep welcomed us. They are just near by the canal and the tourist information hut. We spent a minute or two to take pictures and to breath. I wonder when was the last time I could feel so much oxygen went through inside my chest. We just walked to the open air boat with chilling temperature, hmmmm about 9-11 degrees. Excited! The boat was moving and going far to the middle of the canal, heading to the sea. We sailed for about 10 minutes until we arrived at a site where hundreds of seals lied on the shore. There are amazingly cute.
After we were observing them for 15-20 minutes, we went back to the dock and we were heading to Felbrigg. Felbrigg is an elegant house, almost like a small palace, just 30 minutes from Blakeney National trust. There, we were eating at a small indoor outdoor cafe and restaurant with a beautiful landscape from its walled garden. The wind was still chilling, but the atmosphere was really saying that the spring has come.
After lunch, we went into the building to see many rooms that were used by the aristocrats in 18th century for parties and large scale of dining and leisure activities. It is a great experience to know a little bit of English Heritage in the land of Norfolk county.
