North Norfolk

North Norfolk is home to 45 miles of coastline made up of unspoilt beaches, expansive salt marshes, and miles of white sand, dunes, and pinewoods. It is a haven for wildlife and birds, attracting twitchers and tourists from far and wide. Head inland and explore seaside towns, quaint coastal villages, and land that has been farmed for generations. The area is rich with local produce, from Brancaster mussels and Houghton venison to Binham Blue cheese... all found on our menus when in season.

Norfolk marshes

The North Norfolk marshes are a place of quiet drama with wide skies, shifting tides, and a stillness that’s hard to find elsewhere. Explore villages like Thornham and Brancaster Staithe, where harbours meet the salt marsh. Visit Titchwell or Holkham to spot wildlife and take in the open views that define this coastline. For us, the marshes capture what we love about this part of the world - its beauty, its rhythm, and the simple pleasure of being close to it.

North Norfolk is abundant with wildlife, especially along its coast and marshes. At Titchwell and Cley, you can watch avocets, marsh harriers, and geese gathering over the lagoons, while seals bask on the sandbanks at Blakeney Point. The changing tides bring new life each season, from migrating birds in winter to butterflies and wildflowers in summer. Whether you’re walking the coastal path or pausing at a bird hide, it’s easy to see why this landscape is such a haven for nature.

Norfolk beaches

Norfolk’s beaches are some of the most unspoilt in the country, with long stretches of sand and big skies. From the colourful huts at Wells-next-the-Sea to the wild dunes of Holkham and the wide open bay at Brancaster, each has its own character and charm. They are places to walk the dog, paddle, or spot seals. Whether you visit in the height of summer or on a cold winter morning, there’s something special about the light, the air and the sense of calm that comes with being by the

Norfolk coast.
