Norfolk is a county on the coast in the East of England. Covering 5,371 sq km (2,074 sq mi), Norfolk is the fifth largest ceremonial county in England. It faces the North Sea to the east, and shares a border with Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire to the west and Suffolk to the south. Norfolk has a population of 851,000 (2011 estimate), making it the seventh most populous. Its county town is Norwich, which is also its only city.

Norfolk is within a rural part of England. It comprises seven districts namely Norwich, South Norfolk, Great Yarmouth, Broadland, North Norfolk, King's Lynn and West Norfolk, and Breckland. The area is mainly agricultural. Among the crops grown here include wheat, sugar beat and barley.

The locals of Norfolk speak a regional dialect known as Broad Norfolk. Much of this has died out due to television and radio penetration, but can still be head within the county.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
