'''Norfolk''' is a large county in the [[East Anglia]]n region 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 has land borders with [[Lincolnshire]], [[Cambridgeshire]] and [[Suffolk]].
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.
Long stretches of the Norfolk coast is comparitively unspoiled, there are several important nature reserves, and extensive areas of [[saltmarsh]] and [[sand dunes]]. The [[Norfolk Broads]] are an area of ancient flooded [[peat]]-diggings in the county, connected by rivers, that are a popular holiday destination for boating holidays, and were recently declared a [[National Park]].
Norfolk is quite sparsely inhabited by British standards, and important industries include agriculture and tourism.
