HEAD FOR THE COAST
There’s something for everyone around Norfolk's varied coastline. North Norfolk is famous for it's never ending beaches and its wildlife marshes. Trips out could include bird watching at Cley marshes, a boat trip from Morston to Blakeney Point to see more wildlife including seals, lunch at Morston Hall run by the now infamous TV celebrity chef Galton Blackiston, shopping in Burnham market and a long walk along the beach at Holkham. Further round the coast you’ll find the traditional seaside resorts of Sheringham and Cromer and miles of golden sandy beaches that stretch right round the coast to Great Yarmouth.
