The flattest, widest-skied corner of England. Cambridge punts under the college backs, the Norfolk Broads thread 125 miles of navigable waterway through reedbeds and windmills, and the coast runs from Norfolk's seal colonies and beach huts down through Suffolk's Southwold and Aldeburgh to the Essex estuaries. Norwich, Colchester and Ely add cathedral-and-castle weight.
- Cambridge — the colleges, King's College Chapel and punting on the Cam
- The Norfolk Broads National Park
- Ely Cathedral, 'the Ship of the Fens'
- The Norfolk and Suffolk coast — Southwold, Aldeburgh, Holkham
- Colchester, Britain's oldest recorded town
