Outdoor learning resources

Norfolk has a fantastic variety of natural places to discover, explore and have family adventures. Lifelong learning comes from memorable experiences and the summer holidays are the perfect time to get outdoors, explore and spend time together with friends and family.

This pack has been collated by the Outdoor Learning Team based at Holt Hall and Whitlingham Adventure, with a range of different activity ideas and website links to guide you on your adventures. We have created separate resources for a variety of special Norfolk habitats to explore.

Evidence shows that being in a natural environment has a positive effect upon wellbeing and we have grouped our activity ideas according to the ‘5 ways of Wellbeing’, to help you choose a balanced journey.
