About the Norfolk Coast and Broads

Wherever you are in Norfolk the unspoilt North Norfolk coast is never very far away and the variety of landscape in this part of East Anglia is remarkable, all nestling under wonderful big blue skies: from sandstone cliffs to saltmarsh; from sandy beach to shingle; from muddy creek banks to crashing breakers – all to explore from Hunstanton to Sheringham and round to Happisburgh.

There’s much to do for all ages and interests: beautiful beaches for picnics, swimming or just walking, hidden creeks on the saltmarshes, fantastic birdwatching, easy cycling, lake or sea fishing, quaint villages, shopping in the sophisticated small towns of Holt and Burnham Market or visit more traditional seaside resorts like Hunstanton and Cromer.

You can sail at Morston; windsurf or kitesurf at Brancaster; take a boat trip to see the seals at Blakeney Point, hire a beach hut at Wells-next-the-Sea; stride along the grand expanse of Holkham beach; explore creeks and quays at Brancaster and Burnham Overy Staithe; go twitching on the salt marshes of Cley-next-the-Sea for rare sightings; eat excellent local food at any number of pubs and restaurants.

For keen golfers Norfolk has some of the most dramatic and challenging golf courses in the country: try Sheringham, Royal West Norfolk at Brancaster, Royal Cromer or King’s Lynn.
Take in the sights from the Walsingham & Wells narrow gauge railway, or visit some of the most spectacular stately homes, historic houses and gardens in the country: Holkham, Houghton, Blickling and Oxburgh and Royal Sandringham are all within easy distance.

Go a little bit further inland and discover the Norfolk Broads: miles and miles of inland waterways to explore where you may hire a motor cruiser, traditional sailing boat or take a guided tour in this wonderfully unspoilt nature reserve, rich in wildlife.
