We visited the North Norfolk Coast for the first time a couple of years ago........shame on us for leaving it so long.A wonderful place and apparently North Norfolk is the least unspoilt part of our wonderful island.I can second Holkam Beach/Blakeny/Cley/Wells/Stifkey.....
a few snaps...

That last one is an exit from Holkam Hall, a must,you can drive through the whole estate for free..a fantastic place.
North Norfolk is one of this lands great secret places...lets hope it stays that way.Enjoy.P.

While the roads are kept the same it will stay the same way.
It takes a long time to get to anywhere but it worth it

Take the A149 from Hunstanton to Cromer. You will love it., Smoked seafood shop at Cley. Lot's of local seafood dishes in all the pubs and restaurants along the way, great beach walks (beware incoming tides.

) Holkham hall, Wells next the sea is a bit below par but you may like that sort of thing.

Don't bother with Hunstanton or Cromer, they are both truly dreadful. If you fancy dropping in for tea I'm from 25 miles from Kings Lynn.

Nearly 'lost' Mrs Lowedb to that windmill. She was alright going up the stairs, but realised how steep they were once up, and was quite a job coaxing her down again!

A point that might interest some. James Blunt, or Blount as it was before he became a well known singer parents lived at Cley Windmill which they owned.
They have since sold it on. I believe there is a restraunt/ cafe at the top of it now but I,m not100% sure.

James himself went to 'Greshams' School in Holt.

My Bro and his Partner run the Caravan Cafe at the Wells by the Station of the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway on the A149 at Wells.

Regards,

Arry.
