School's out for the summer and it looks like the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have kicked off their children's holiday in their favourite staycation spot – Norfolk. Kate was spotted visiting Pensthorpe Natural Park with her two elder children Prince George, five, and Princess Charlotte, four. The family attraction is located just 25 minutes' drive away from the royals' country home, Anmer Hall.

The natural park will have been a perfect day out for nature lover Kate and her kids. On its official website, Pensthorpe is described as "a stunning 700-acre nature reserve located within the Wensum Valley, just 11 miles inland from the north Norfolk coast". The park is teaming with wildlife and has many different unspoilt habitats to explore, from ancient woodland to wetland walks to glorious gardens.
