From tiny fishing villages to traditional beach resorts, if you are looking for a holiday by the sea, Norfolk has something for everyone. Combine the charm of an old fishing port with modern seaside attractions in the vibrant town of Cromer. Enjoy wide open beaches, a traditional pier, famous Cromer crab sandwiches and plenty of independent shops, art galleries and cafes to browse. If you would prefer somewhere a bit more secluded, the pretty village of Happisburgh is the perfect spot to get a dose of salty sea air whilst admiring the historic buildings and iconic red and white lighthouse. Delve into the past as you discover the Deep History Coast Discovery Trail or simply enjoy the large sandy beach and miles of coastal paths to explore.
Any nature lovers should head to the fishing villages of Stiffkey and Blackney. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the pristine saltmarshes that surround the villages are a haven for wildlife. It’s an easy four mile walk between the two villages or take a boat trip out to visit the seal colonies. A few miles further west, the traditional Georgian village of Burnham Market is the perfect spot to while away the afternoon. The picturesque village green is surrounded by characterful flint cottages, boutique shops, art galleries and mouth-watering eateries.
Alternatively, head slightly inland and explore the beautiful Norfolk countryside. The winding alleyways and charming courtyards in the market town of Holt is a lovely spot for a holiday. Or the tranquil landscape of the Norfolk Broads is hard to beat if you are looking for an unspoilt and peaceful hideaway to relax and unwind. Hire a boat, canoe or paddleboard and enjoy spotting wildlife as you gently cruise through the waterways. There are plenty of waterside villages and pubs if you need refreshments, or pack your own picnic for the day. Some boats even have fridges for that all important bottle of fizz! If you want to keep your feet on the ground take a gentle stroll through the enchanting woods and wetlands. Kids will love pond dipping at the boardwalk habitat trails at Ranworth Broad or keen historians should walk along Breydon Water to the Roman fort at Burgh Castle.
Whether you are looking for a coastal break, a getaway in the peaceful countryside, or you want to explore the fascinating towns and villages, a holiday in Norfolk has all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
