Suggestions for a countryside or seaside stop between Norwich and Wales

[CoCoJones26]

Visiting family for a few days in Norwich (we are from Wales) and would like to tag on a few days and visit somewhere else too on the way home. Any suggestions?! We like countryside, the sea, walking....thx

Whereabouts in Wales?

Was also going to ask which part of Wales.
Coming from Anglesey is a different route from if you were coming from Tenby.

There’s not a lot of sea between East Anglia and Wales. I speak from experience. It very much depends on the route you’re taking and thus what part of Wales you’re returning to. Could you give details?

Not much seaside between Wales and Norwich, unless you plan to make a substantial detour somewhere....

I suppose Derbyshire might suit for walking if you're heading NW. Not sure about actual route.

What’s your route going to be? If M4, could you go via the Cotswolds?

And if you want seaside, could you do a day trip to the coast when you’re in Norwich? It’s about an hour to Southwold for example

There’s more interesting coastline in Norfolk without needing to go to Southwold.

Surely there’s no seaside between Norwich and Wales? It’s all cross-country unless you make a diversion.

Hunstanton , Wells by the Sea, north Norfolk coast on the way back ?

If you've got kids then Searles in Hunstanton Norfolk is fantastic

The Peak District fits the criteria for walking/countryside. The North Norfolk coast is beautiful too, Wells Next the Sea is lovely.

I thought Peak District or Cotswolds too. Of the two, I'd choose the Peak District but it depends on the route.

Another option might to do a day or two in different cities, for example, Cambridge and Oxford if it might be relevant to the DCs' futures. Not what the OP asked for but they are quite a hike from Wales to visit otherwise.
Other cities and good universities are available.

Knowing the route would help.

Break your journey with a small detour halfway by going to new forest or Wiltshire .

Massive detour if travelling from North Wales.
If not, the white horse at Uffington or the Ridgeway wouldn't be much of a detour from the M4.

Depending on which part of Wales and your route, Worcester, Stratford, Warwick castle, Stow on the Wold?

I don't think Turkey is on the route from Wales to Norwich.

If South Wales to Norwich is basically M4, M25, M/A11

So either near Reading (Sonning maybe or Henley?) or wait until you get off the M25 the other side of London. A village in South Cambridgeshire?

From North Wales (A55) it's through Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

Where in Wales? We all know our roads can be, shall we say, circuitous!

We haven't a clue.
