Let's Get Away From It All

1971 , Norfolk Broads (Norfolk)

Cat no. 451

Promotional film for Hoseasons' range of Norfolk holidays.

Opening with views of Norfolk attractions, this film displays Hoseasons' services and promotes Norfolk as a holiday destination. From glorious coastlines and the sights and sounds of Great Yarmouth and Norwich, to a countryside that blends marshland and woodland, Norfolk is perfect for a family holiday. Amidst the Broads and rivers - one of the premiere boating areas in Europe - a family collect a fully-equipped boat from a Hoseasons boatyard and set out on a two-week adventure, visiting Broads landmarks such as Berney Arms Mill, St Benets Abbey and the village of Ranworth, with its 'Cathedral of the Broads', St Helen's. The family also visit the Hoveton nature trail and Suffolk wildlife park and watch powerboat racing on Oulton Broad, spending their evenings in Broads pubs or enjoying the 'home comforts' of the boat. During the family's trip, we learn more about Hoseasons' other holiday options, from well-appointed riverside bungalows at Wroxham, to houseboats and seaside holiday shacks. Meanwhile, the company's motor-launch hire affords easy access to a range of Norfolk attractions, from Caister to Sandringham, Cromer to Kessingland.
