There’s plenty to discover on our doorstep — from windswept coastal walks to historic market towns, hidden gardens, and quiet corners of countryside. Whether you’re here for a weekend or just passing through, here are a few of our local favourites.
One of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the UK, Holkham Beach is the perfect spot for a bracing walk, a picnic with a view, or simply some quiet time by the sea. Dog-friendly and unspoilt, it’s just as lovely in winter as it is in summer.
Often called “Chelsea-on-Sea,” Burnham Market is a lively little town full of independent shops, galleries, and cafés. It’s a great place for a wander, a coffee, or to pick up something special from a local maker.
A classic seaside town with bags of character. This harbour town is full of charm — think colourful beach huts, crabbing on the quay, and fish and chips with a view. Great for families, dog walks, or a gentle stroll along the coast path.
Just a short drive away, Sandringham offers grand gardens, nature trails, and a chance to explore the private estate of the Royal Family. The house and museum are open seasonally, and the grounds are beautiful year-round.
A haven for wildlife lovers and walkers alike, this nature reserve is home to an incredible range of birdlife. Boardwalks and coastal trails take you through reedbeds, lagoons and out to the beach.
The Norfolk Coast Path winds through salt marshes, dunes and seaside villages, offering stunning views and a real sense of escape. Walk a little or a lot — it’s up to you. Pick it up from several
nearby spots.
