EXPLORING North Norfolk

Be it elegant Georgian architecture, charming windmills or the wild marshlands of the coastline’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the draws of North Norfolk are as beguiling as they are diverse. Whilst the summer months play host to events such as the week-long Holt Festival, which features musicians, poets, actors, dancers, artists and comedians, the change in seasons brings with it a charm of its own in the form of seaside strolls and pier-side promenades. Windswept walks and cheeks flushed from fireside pub lunches are hallmarks of the cooler months here in this picturesque spot of eastern England, as are the many and wonderful opportunities to explore the area’s wealth of things to see and do.

PLACES TO VISIT

NORTH NORFOLK COASTLINE

Running from Hunstanton in the west through to Sheringham in the east, the coastline of North Norfolk merits far more than words when it comes to describing its status as an AONB. The nature reserves are breathtaking for walkers, birdwatchers and wildlife lovers alike. Be sure to factor in a boat-only visit to Blakeney Point
