'''Norfolk''' is a shire of [[East Anglia]], for statistical purposes classed as part of the East of England. The county town is [[Norwich]] and other major towns include the ports of [[Great Yarmouth]] and [[Kings Lynn]], and the seaside resorts of [[Cromer]], [[Sheringham]] and [[Hunstanton]]. Norfolk is bound by the North Sea to the north and east, with the north-west of the county being located on [[the Wash]], and it has land borders with [[Lincolnshire]] to the north and west, [[Suffolk]] to the south and [[Cambridgeshire]] to the south-west. Hunstanon in the far north-west of the county is around 45 miles as the crow flies from the [[Spurn Head]] peninsula in the [[East Riding of Yorkshire]].
    
Norfolk is renowned for its flatness, [[Noel Coward]] for example declaring emphatically of the county, ''"Very flat, Norfolk"''. Although it is not quite as low lying as Cambridgeshire, large areas of Norfolk would be threatened by a rise in sea level.
