THE Green Quay is the closest you can get to
the wildlife of The Wash without getting your feet
wet.
This inter-active discovery centre, at Marriott's
Warehouse on King's Lynn's South Quay, allows
you to marvel at the range of wildlife that lives in
the beautiful wind-swept landscape of The
Wash, and discover exactly what it is that makes
this local estuary so special.
Find out about the sea creatures that lurk in
The Wash murk and enjoy film shows, computer
workstations, exhibitions, free competitions, and
new for 2009, watch the English Nature-funded
film Quay To The Wash.
The Green Quay now has conference facilities
up and running.
It can cater for gatherings of up to 40 for con-
ferences, or 70-80 theatre-style.
During the school summer holidays, there are
messy arts and crafts with environmental and
recyclable themes for children aged 5-12 years.
Pre-booking is essential.
After you have enjoyed the displays and
exhibits, visit the caf� with its fantastic views of
the river Great Ouse. There's also a shop selling
local and unusual gift items plus Green Quay
merchandise.

Quay, ring 01553 818500 or see their website at

A MAGNIFICENT collection
of cacti, built up over more
than 40 years, can be seen at
Eau Brink Cactus Nursery at
Eau Brink Road, Tilney All
Saints, near King's Lynn.
There are nearly 11,000 dif-
ferent species, numbering
around 50,000 cacti in total
-- and it has all grown out of
a hobby developed by Mr
Derek Bowdery.
He began with half a dozen
cacti and has built up his col-
lection over the years.
Mr Bowdery has travelled
extensively to the countries
of origin of many of the
plants and is an acknowl-
edged expert on the subject,
in demand as a lecturer.
The nursery draws visitors
from all over the world.
It is open four days a
week, 10am-5pm, from
March to October, being
closed Thursdays, Fridays
and Saturdays. In the winter,
ring 01553 617635 for open-
ing times.
There are lots of plants for
sale, with prices from �1.50
to �5. There is good access
to the displays for disabled
people.
With some of the cacti
having become very well
established at Eau Brink over
the years, they make an
impressive sight.
The best time to see them
flowering is from April to
June, although there are
often specimens in flower at
other times of the year.
THROUGHOUT the year
Sandringham is a hugely popular
attraction, both for its royal con-
nections and for its country park.
As the country retreat of the
Queen and her family, Sandringham
House has always held a fascina-
tion for the many who either visit
the house and grounds in the sum-
mer season, or come at Christmas
time to see the Royal Family attend
services at the nearby church.
And even without the royal con-
nection, the adjoining country park
is a rather special place which
draws back visitors, both locals
and from afar, to savour its beauty
and tranquillity.
For the one thing that
Sandringham country park has is
seemingly unlimited space, so even
on a day where there are hordes of
visitors, there always seems to be
enough room for everyone to find
space for their picnics or woodland
walks.
Sandringham was the place that
King George V declared he `loved
better than anywhere else in the
world' and the royal residence has
established a similar place in the
affections of many regular visitors.
The museum, 60 acres of
grounds, the attractive visitor cen-
tre, gift shop and plant centre, plus
600 acres of woodland and heath
in the country park, make
Sandringham a magnet for the
whole family all year round.
There are special events,
including the famous
Sandringham Flower Show on
Wednesday, July 29, to look for-
ward to right through the main
summer season.
The Queen first opened
Sandringham to the public in 1977
and tourists have been flocking
there ever since.
In the house they can see paint-
ings and priceless collections of
porcelain, jade, silver, gold and
bronzes set against fine furniture.
The museum contains displays
of royal memorabilia from family
photographs to vintage Daimlers
and a section set aside to recall the
history of Sandringham Fire
Brigade.
The house is surrounded by
flowers, shrubs and trees informally
planted around lawns, lakes and
waterways. The country park
includes nature trails and picnic
areas with tractor and trailer rides
and a scenic drive.
Guided garden tours are also
available.
