Our mission at Natural Surroundings is to champion wildlife, especially our wonderful wild flowers, and to promote wildlife-friendly gardening. We want to help and encourage our visitors to ‘give nature a home’ throughout the year. Naturally, we also want to promote an interest in British wildlife, to celebrate plants, and to help people to value, appreciate and enjoy the countryside.

Natural Surroundings lies on the Bayfield Estate, an area of farmland and woodland spread across rolling hills on either side of the River Glaven in North Norfolk. For anyone that thinks Norfolk is flat, a visit to Natural Surroundings will be a real eye-opener: we think that our corner of the Glaven Valley is the most beautiful in Norfolk and Natural Surroundings extends across 8 acres (3.25ha) that have been leased from the estate since 1989.
